a closed flask of air (0.250 L) contains 5.00 "puffs" of particles. The pressure probe on the flask reads 93 kPa. A student uses a syringe to add an additional 3.00 "puffs" of air through the stopper. Find a new pressure inside the flask.

Respuesta :

Answer: New pressure inside the flask would be 148.8 kPa.

Explanation: The combined gas law equation is given by:

[tex]PV=nRT[/tex]

As the flask is a closed flask, so the volume remains constant. Temperature is constant also.

So, the relation between pressure and number of moles becomes

[tex]P=n\\or\\\frac{P}{n}=constant[/tex]

[tex]\frac{P_1}{n_1}=\frac{P_2}{n_2}[/tex]

  • Initial conditions:

[tex]P_1=93kPa\\n_1=5\text{ puffs}[/tex]

  • Final conditions: When additional 3 puffs of air is added

[tex]P_2=?kPa\\n_2=8\text{ puffs}[/tex]

Putting the values, in above equation, we get

[tex]\frac{93}{5}=\frac{P_2}{8}\\P_2=148.8kPa[/tex]
