Skill 5-2 Reducing the ideal gas law to the individual gas laws
Air in a J tube occupies 24.8 cm 3 at 1.12 atm. Adding mercury to the tube increases the pressure on the air to 2.64 atm. At constant temp., what is the new volume of air (L)?
Solution P1 = 1.12 atm P2 = 2.64 atm V1 = 24.8 cm 3 (convert to L) V2 ? T and n are constant
Converting V1 from cm 3 to L:
