The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use Boyle's Law, which states that for a given mass of gas at constant temperature, the product of pressure and volume is constant. This can be expressed mathematically as: \[ P_1 V_1 = P_2 V_2 \] Where: - \( P_1 \) = initial pressure - \( V_1 \) = initial volume - \( P_2 \) = final pressure - \( V_2 \) = final volume ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Values:** - Initial Volume (\( V_1 \)) = 750.0 mL - Initial Pressure (\( P_1 \)) = 840.0 mm Hg - Final Pressure (\( P_2 \)) = 360.0 mm Hg 2. **Set Up the Equation Using Boyle's Law:** \[ P_1 V_1 = P_2 V_2 \] 3. **Rearranging the Equation to Solve for \( V_2 \):** \[ V_2 = \frac{P_1 V_1}{P_2} \] 4. **Substituting the Known Values into the Equation:** \[ V_2 = \frac{840.0 \, \text{mm Hg} \times 750.0 \, \text{mL}}{360.0 \, \text{mm Hg}} \] 5. **Calculating \( V_2 \):** - First, calculate the numerator: \[ 840.0 \times 750.0 = 630000.0 \, \text{mm Hg mL} \] - Now divide by \( P_2 \): \[ V_2 = \frac{630000.0 \, \text{mm Hg mL}}{360.0 \, \text{mm Hg}} \approx 1750.0 \, \text{mL} \] 6. **Convert the Final Volume to Liters:** - Since \( 1000 \, \text{mL} = 1 \, \text{L} \): \[ V_2 = 1.750 \, \text{L} \] ### Final Answer: The final volume of the gas will be **1.750 liters**. ---
