A 10.0 L container of NH3 gas at 25.8°C and 0.85 atm, is heated to 70.4°C and a pressure of 1.35 atm. Calculate the new volume.
We know
PV= nRT
PV/T = nR = const
where R is Rydbergs const and n is no of moles of gas which would remain same after the new volume is achieved in container,
We would equate P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2 (equation i)
P1 = 0.85 atm , P2 = 1.35 atm
T1 = 25.8C = 25.8+273 K= 298.8K , T2 = 70.4 C = 70.4 + 273 K = 343.4K
V1 = 10L
Put these values in eq i
0.85 atm*10L/298.8 K = 1.35 atm*V2/343.4 K
0.0284 atmL/K = 1.35 atm*V2/343.4K
V2 = (0.0284 atmL/K )*(343.4K/1.35 atm)
V2 = 7.23 L
Hence new volume is 7.23 L.
