A Gas tanker is carrying 325,875 L of octane, C8H18, at 1.27?atm. What is the volume of the propane at standard pressure. I need this worked out and I need to know what gas law is needed to solve this problem.

Respuesta :

The volume of the propane gas at standard pressure is 413861.25L.

The gas law needed to solve the volume of propane gas at standard pressure is Boyle's law.

Boyle's law

Boyle's law states that the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure, provided that the temperature remains contant.

Boyle's law can be expressed mathematically as

  • P₁V₁ = P₂V₂............... Equation 1

Where:

  • P₁ = Initial pressure of octane gas
  • V₁ = Initial volume of octane gas
  • P₂ = Final pressure of octane gas
  • V₂ = Final volume of octane gas.

Since we were asked to find the final volume in the question above, we make V₂ The subject of the equation.

  • V₂ = P₁V₁/P₂................... Equation 2

From the question,

Given:

  • P₁ = 1.27 atm
  • V₁ = 325875 L
  • P₂ = 1 atm (Standard pressure)

Substitute the given values into equation 2

  • V₂ = (1.27×325875)/1
  • V₂ = 413861.25 L.

Hence, the volume of the propane gas at standard pressure is 413861.25L.
