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.
