Q.
At 25∘C and 760mm of Hg pressure, a gas occupies 600mL volume. What will be its pressure at a height where temperature is 10∘C and volume of the gas is 640mL ?
p1=760mmHg, V1=600mL T1=25+273=298K V2=640mL
and T2=10+273=283K
According to combined gas law, T1p1V1=T2p2V2 ⇒p2=T1V2p1V1T2 ⇒p2=(640mL)×(298K)(760mmHg)×(600mL)×(283K) =676.6mmHg ≈677mmHg
