Two liters of hydrogen gas are stored at a
pressure of 100 kPa. If the temperature
does not change, what will the volume
of the gas be when the pressure is
decreased to 25 kPa?

Respuesta :

Answer:

the volume will expand

Explanation:

gas under pressure contracts, and expands with a lesser pressure

The volume of the hydrogen gas at 25 kPa is 8 Liters.

Explanation:

Given:

At constant temperature, 2 liters of hydrogen gas at 100kPa pressure.

To find:

The volume of the hydrogen gas at 25kPa.

Solution:

The initial pressure of the hydrogen gas =[tex]P_1=100 kPa[/tex]

The initial volume of the hydrogen gas at 100 kPa =[tex]V_1=2 L[/tex]

The final pressure of the hydrogen gas =[tex]P_2=25 kPa[/tex]

The final volume of the hydrogen gas at 25kPa = [tex]V_2=?[/tex]

Using Boyles law:

[tex]P_1V_1=P_2V_2\\100kPa\times 2 L=25 kPa\times V_2\\V_2=\frac{100 kPa\times 2L}{25 kPa}=8L[/tex]

The volume of the hydrogen gas at 25 kPa is 8 Liters.
