20.352 mL of chlorine under a pressure of 680. mm Hg are
placed in a container
under a pressure of 1210 mm Hg. The temperature remains
constant at 296 K.
What is the volume of the container in liters?

0.01144L or 1.144x10^-2L

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

V1 (initial volume) = 20.352 mL

P1 (initial pressure) = 680mmHg

P2 (final pressure) = 1210mmHg

V2 (final volume) =.?

Using the Boyle's law equation P1V1 = P2V2, the volume of the container can be obtained as follow:

P1V1 = P2V2

680 x 20.352 = 1210 x V2

Divide both side by 1210

V2 = (680 x 20.352)/1210

V2 = 11.44mL

Now we need to convert 11.44mL to L in order to obtain the desired result. This is illustrated below:

1000mL = 1 L

11.44mL = 11.44/1000 = 0.01144L

Therefore the volume of the container is 0.01144L or 1.144x10^-2L

your answer is a. the enthalpy of formation for a pure element in its standard state is always positive.
