If a sample of N2 gas has an initial pressure of 500 Torr and volume of 0.5 L, what will the final volume be if the pressure is increased to 700 Torr?

V₂ = 0.4 L

Explanation:

Data:

P₁ (initial pressure) = 500 torrV₁ (initial volume) = 0.5 LP₂ (final pressure) = 700 torr

Wanted:

V₂ (final volume)

Equation:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂  →  V₂ = P₁V₁ / P₂

Solution:

V₂ = = 0.3571 L or 0.4 L
