A sample of a gas occupies 1.40 * 10³ mL at 25^$\circ$C and 760 mmHg. What volume will it occupy at the same temperature and 380 mmHg A) 2,800 mL B) 2,100 mL C) 1,400 mL D) 1,050 mL E) 700 mL

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure at constant temperature (Boyle's Law). Doubling the volume halves the pressure, so at 380 mmHg (half of 760 mmHg), the volume doubles to 2,800 mL.
