U"Boyles Law : A Sample Of Fluorine Gas Occupies A Volume Of 500 Ml At 760 Torr. Given That The Temperature Remainscthe Same , Calculate The Pressure

Boyles law : A sample of fluorine gas occupies a volume of 500 mL at 760 torr. Given that the temperature remainscthe same , calculate the pressure required to reduce its volume by ⅓.

 

The pressure required is 2,280 torr (english unit) or 3 atm (metric unit)

Boyles Law state that the relationship of volume and pressure is inversely proportional when temperature and amount of gas remains the same.

Given data :

The volume is reduced to 1/3

Solution:

(since volume and pressure is inversely proportional and the volume is reduced to 1/3, then you will triple the pressure.

760 torr × 3 = 2,280 torr

If your teacher specifically want to convert the unit torr which is an english unit of pressure to metric unit of (atm), divide the answer by 760.  

1 atm = 760 torr

Solution:

2,280 torr × 1 atm / 760 torr = 3 atm

This is another way of solving Boyles law
