Problema Solution

At STP, what is the volume of 6.20 moles of nitrogen gas?

Answer provided by our tutors

Tabulate the data


Initial Conditions Final Conditions

volume V1 = 6.20 L V2 = ?

pressure P1 = 0.980 atm P2 = 1.11 atm

2. Check the pressure unit. If they are different, use a conversion factor to make them the same. (Pressure conversion factors are found in the previous section.)


3. Substitute in the Boyle's Law Equation:




4. Check that your answer is reasonable. The pressure has increased the volume should decrease. The calculated final olume is less than the initial volume, as predicted.
