The volume of the gas is 18.8 L at 2.00 atm and 200.0K. If it's original volume was 300 L at 400.0k, what was original pressure?

Respuesta :

Answer:

15.96atm

Explanation

According to general gas equation

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

P1 and P2 are  pressures

V1 and V2 are the volumes

T1 and T2 are the temperatures

Given

P2 = 2.00atm

V1 = 18.8L

v2 = 300l

t1 = 200k

T2 = 400K

Required

P1 = ?

Substitute

P1 =P2V2T1/T2 V1

P1 = 2 * 300*200/400*18.8

P1 = 120000/7520

P1 = 15.96atm'

Hence the original pressure is 15.96atm
