OrchidPrincess asked:


A sample of gas at temperature of 25.0 degrees C has a pressure of 815 torr and occupies a volume of 9.92L. Use Boyles Law to calculate the new pressure if the temperature is held constant and the volume is decreased to 5.92L. I just want to know if I change 815 torr to atm before solving the problem.

What am I doing wrong on this empirical gas law problem?

a person asked:


the problem says this:
a sample of helium gas at 18 celcius and 760mmhg has a vol. of 2.67 ml. What’s the vol. at 0c and 1 atm of pressure?

I’m following the formula vf=vi * tf/ti but it keeps coming out wrong. How would you solve it?

How do you solve this ideal gas law problem?

Cate asked:


Newly devised automobile batteries are sealed. When lead storage batteries discharge, they produce hydrogen. Suppose the void volume in the battery is 100 mL at 1 atm of pressure and 25 degrees C. What would be the pressure increase if 0.05 g H2 were produced by the discharge of the battery? Does this present a problem?

I know you used PV = nRT somehow, but I’m not sure how to arrive at a pressure increase?

Can someone please help me with this ideal gas law problem?

late.dawns asked:


The nitrogen in a 30 L container at 740 torr and 55 degrees Celsius and the hydrogen in a 20 L container at 650 torr and 15 degrees Celsius are pumped into a 25 L container at 32 degrees Celsius. What is the final pressure?

Thanks in advance..Please explain the procedures to solving the problem as I am already aware of what the answer is!
