Calculating Propane Volume at Standard Pressure
How can we calculate the volume of propane at standard pressure?
A gas tank holds 2785 L of propane at 830 mm Hg. What is the volume of the propane at standard pressure?
Answer:
The volume of the propane at standard pressure can be calculated using Boyle's law equation: P1V1 = P2V2.
From Boyle's law, the equation becomes:
P1V1 = P2V2
(830 mm Hg) * (2785 L) = (760 mm Hg) * V
By solving for V, we get:
V = (830 * 2785) / 760
V = 3041.5 L
Therefore, the volume of the propane at standard pressure is 3041.5 liters.
