A mass of hydrogen occupies 5cm at 1atm pressure. If the volume is doubled . What will be the new pressure exerted on gas
Given
V1 = 5 cm3
P1 = 1 atm
V2 = 2 x (5 cm3) = 10 cm3
Find P2
Simply Use
P1V1 = P2V2
or
P2 = P1 V1 / V2 = 1 x 5 / 10 = 0.5 atm
V1 = 5 cm3
P1 = 1 atm
V2 = 2 x (5 cm3) = 10 cm3
Find P2
Simply Use
P1V1 = P2V2
or
P2 = P1 V1 / V2 = 1 x 5 / 10 = 0.5 atm
