A gas at a pressure of 1 atm, a volume of 1 , and a temperature of 25 C. What would happen to the pressure if the volume were reduced to 0.5 and the temperature increased to 250 C ?

maybe try using P1V1/n1T1 = P2V2/n2T2 ...

im in chem too...

(P1V1)/T1 = (P2V2)/T2 will do it. You need the n1 and n2.

Pressure will increase. New pressure is 20atm.

To determine what would happen to the pressure when the volume is reduced to 0.5 L and the temperature is increased to 250° C, we can use the ideal gas law equation:

PV = nRT

Where:
P = pressure (in atm)
V = volume (in L)
n = number of moles of gas
R = ideal gas constant (0.0821 L*atm/(mol*K))
T = temperature (in Kelvin)

First, let's convert the given temperature from Celsius to Kelvin:
T (Kelvin) = T (Celsius) + 273.15

So, the given temperature of 25° C will be:
T1 = 25 + 273.15 = 298.15 K

Now, let's calculate the pressure at the initial conditions using the ideal gas law:
P1 * V1 = n * R * T1
1 atm * 1 L = n * 0.0821 L*atm/(mol*K) * 298.15 K

Simplifying the equation:
n = (1 atm * 1 L) / (0.0821 L*atm/(mol*K) * 298.15 K)
n ≈ 0.0406 moles

Now, let's determine the pressure at the new conditions:
P2 * V2 = n * R * T2
P2 * 0.5 L = 0.0406 moles * 0.0821 L*atm/(mol*K) * (250 + 273.15) K

Simplifying the equation:
P2 = (0.0406 moles * 0.0821 L*atm/(mol*K) * (523.15 K)) / (0.5 L)
P2 ≈ 6.693 atm

Therefore, the pressure would increase to approximately 6.693 atm when the volume is reduced to 0.5 L and the temperature is increased to 250° C.
