Question
how do I do 37?
Explanation / Answer
Recall
P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
P1 = ?
V1 = 6 L
decreased by 1/3 of original P1
and T2 is decreased by 1/2 of T1
then, find Final V, that is V2
Let us not use numbers but simply use T1 and P1 for T2 and P2
so
P2 = 1/3*P1 (one third of original pressure)
T2 = 1/2*T2 = (one half of original Temperature)
substitute in equation
P1*6 / (T1) = (1/3*P1)*V2 / (1/2T2)
cancel common terms
6 = 2/3*V2
solve for V2
V2 = 3*6/2 = 9 L
the overall effect of this process is an increase in volume towards V = 9 L
