2L of hydrogen has an initial pressure of 750 mmHg, what is the final pressure in mmHg if the volume increases to 20 L with a constant temperature of 37 degrees C?​

Respuesta :

Answer: The final pressure is 75 mm Hg.

Explanation:

According to Boyle's law, at constant temperature the pressure of a gas in inversely proportional to volume.

Since, it is given that the temperature is constant. Hence, formula used is as follows.

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

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

[tex]P_{1}V_{1} = P_{2}V_{2}\\750 mm Hg \times 2 L = P_{2} \times 20 L\\P_{2} = \frac{750 mm Hg \times 2 L}{20 L}\\= 75 mm Hg[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that the final pressure is 75 mm Hg.
