Imagine that you have an ideal gas in a 4.00 L container, and that 2950 molecules of this gas collide with a square-inch area of the container at any given instant.
If the volume is increased to 28.0 L at constant temperature, how many collisions will occur per square inch of this larger container?
P1V1 = n1RT1 and P2V2 = n2RT2
Temperature is same T1= T2
no of moles are same n1 = n2
P1 = 2950atm P2 =
V1 = 4L V2 = 28L
P1V1 = P2V2
P2 = P1V1/V2
= 2950*4/28 = 421.42 will collide in squar inch area of new container.
