A can of coke contains 25 ML of carbon dioxide gas at 100 kpa . If you take it on a hike up Mount Everest and pressure to 50 Kpa what will the new volume of the carbon dioxide gas in your coke can be ?

Respuesta :

The answer for the following problem is mentioned below.

  • Therefore the final volume of the gas is 50 ml.

Explanation:

Given:

Pressure of carbon dioxide gas ([tex]P_{1}[/tex]) = 100 Kpa

Final pressure of the carbon dioxide gas ([tex]P_{2}[/tex]) = 50 Kpa

Initial volume of carbon dioxide gas ([tex]V_{1}[/tex]) = 25 ml

To find:

Final volume of the carbon dioxide gas ([tex]V_{2}[/tex])

From the ideal gas equation;

   P × V = n × R × T

From the above equation,

  P×V = constant

   P  ∝   [tex]\frac{1}{V}[/tex]

So;

      [tex]\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2} } = \frac{V_{2} }{V_{1} }[/tex]

where;

[tex]P_{1}[/tex] represents the initial pressure of the gas

[tex]P_{2}[/tex]  represents the final pressure of the gas

[tex]V_{1}[/tex] represents the initial volume of the gas

[tex]V_{2}[/tex] represents the final volume of the gas

Substituting the values;

                          [tex]\frac{100}{50}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{V_{2} }{25}[/tex]

        [tex]V_{2}[/tex]  = 50 ml

Therefore the final volume of the gas is 50 ml.
