The pressure on 2.50L of N20 (anesthetic) changes from 105 KPa to 40.5 KPa. What will the new volume be?
v = 2.50 L * (105 kPa / 40.5 kPa)
Answer of this
To find the new volume, we can use Boyle's Law which states that the product of the initial pressure and volume is equal to the product of the final pressure and volume, when the temperature is constant.
The formula for Boyle's Law is:
P1 * V1 = P2 * V2
Where:
P1 is the initial pressure
V1 is the initial volume
P2 is the final pressure
V2 is the final volume
We are given:
P1 = 105 KPa
V1 = 2.50 L
P2 = 40.5 KPa
Let's rearrange the formula to solve for V2:
V2 = (P1 * V1) / P2
Now substitute the given values:
V2 = (105 KPa * 2.50 L) / 40.5 KPa
Now we can calculate the new volume:
V2 = 6.38 L
Therefore, the new volume of N2O will be 6.38 L.
