A sample of gas occupies 500ml at 4atm what volume doesn't occupy at standard atomospheric pressure
To find the volume of the gas at standard atmospheric pressure, we can use Boyle's Law, which states that the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional when temperature is held constant.
Boyle's Law equation:
P1V1 = P2V2
P1 = initial pressure = 4 atm
V1 = initial volume = 500 mL
P2 = final pressure (standard atmospheric pressure) = 1 atm
V2 = final volume (unknown)
Plugging in the values into the equation:
4 atm * 500 mL = 1 atm * V2
V2 = (4 atm * 500 mL) / 1 atm
V2 = 2000 mL
Therefore, the gas would occupy a volume of 2000 mL at standard atmospheric pressure.
