What volume (in mL) will a sample of F2 gas occupy in a syringe at 5.5 atm, if the F2 has a volume of 25.0 mL at 1.2 atm?

Group of answer choices

11 mL

17 mL

3.8 mL

5.5 mL

7.6 mL

The correct answer is 5,5 ml

Explanation:

We use the Boyle's Mariotte formula (for a given mass of gas, at constant temperature, the pressure and volume vary inversely proportionally):

P1xV2=P2XV2 - -> V2 = (P1xV2) / P2

V2 = (1,2atm x 25,0 ml) / 5,5 atm=5,45 ml
