Stoichiometry and the Gas Laws — Test

Question 1 • Chemistry

The volume of a gas is 0 point 4 5 0 L when its pressure is 1 point 0 0 atm. If the temperature of the gas does not change, what is the pressure when its volume is changed to 2 point 0 0 L? Use cap p sub 1 cap v sub 1 is equal to cap p sub 2 cap v sub 2

Answer
A
0 point 4 4 4 atm
B
2 point 2 5 atm
C
4 point 4 4 atm
D
0 point 2 2 5 atm

Explanation

At constant temperature, Boyle’s law gives P₁V₁ = P₂V₂. Substitute the values: (1.00 atm)(0.450 L) = P₂(2.00 L), so P₂ = 0.450 ÷ 2.00 = 0.225 atm. The pressure is therefore 0.225 atm, choice C.
