A. Let us first assume that the gas acts like an ideal gas so that we can use the ideal gas equation:
PV = nRT
where P is pressure, V is volume, n is number of moles, R is universal gas constant and T is absolute temperature
In this case, let us assume that nRT = constant so that:
P1V1 = P2V2
400 mm Hg * 400 mL = P2 * 200 mL
P2 = 800 mm Hg
B. The collision of gas with the walls of the container produces Pressure.
Answer:
Option 4 - 800 mm Hg
option 4 - Pressure
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The volume of 400 mL of chlorine gas at 400 mm Hg is decreased to 200 mL at constant temperature.
To find : What is the new gas pressure?
Solution :
Applying Boyle's law, which states that at constant mass and temperature, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure.
The formula is given by, [tex]P_1V_1=P_2V_2[/tex]
Where, [tex]V_1=400ml[/tex]
[tex]P_1=400mm Hg[/tex]
[tex]V_2=200ml[/tex]
Substitute the value in the formula,
[tex]400\times 400=P_2\times 200[/tex]
[tex]P_2=\frac{400\times 400}{200}[/tex]
[tex]P_2=800mmHg[/tex]
So, The new gas pressure is 800 mm Hg.
Therefore, option 4 is correct.
We know that, The collision of gas molecules with the walls of its container
produces pressure.
Therefore, Option 4 is correct.
