Question

A certain mass of a gas taken in 1 L cylinder exerts a pressure of 500 mm Hg at a certain temperature. If the gas is transferred to another cylinder where it exerts 20 per cent more pressure, calculate the volume of the cylinder at the same temperature.

Answer 1

`V_(1) = 1000 cc,P_(1) = 500" mm Of Hg"`,
`P_(2) = P_(1) +(20P_(1))/(100) = 500 +(20xx500)/100 = 600` mm of Hg
`P_(2)V_(2) = P_(1)V_(1),V_(2) = (P_(1)V_(1))/P_(2) = (1000 xx 500)/(600) = 833` cc
