Question

An ideal gas at 650 mm occupied a bulb of unknown volume. A certain amount of gas was withdrawn and found to occupy 1.52 cc at 1 ATM pressure. The pressure of the gas remaining in the bulb was 600 mm. Assuming all measurements made at constant temperature calculate the volume of the bulb.

Answer 1

Dear Student,

The computation are expressed below,

$$\begin{gathered} P_1{V}_1=P_2{V}_2 \\ 650\times V=600\times (V+1.52) \\ 650V=600V+912 \\ (650-600)V=912 \\ 50V=912 \\ V=18.24cc \end{gathered}$$
Regards.
