In an airplane, a gas sample occurs at a volume of 1.5 L at 760.0 torr. Suppose, while flying, the airplane loses pressure and the volume of the gas increases to 11.40 L. What is the pressure in the airplane if the temperature is constant

100 torr

Explanation:

First find the formula you need to use, this will be...

P2 = V1 x P1 / V2

Next, fill in the numbers, this will be...

P2 = ? (we are trying to find this)

P1 = 760 torr

V1 = 1.5 L

V2 = 11.4 L

Next, turn into new formula (just rearrange)

P2 = 1.5 L x 760 torr / 11.4 L

Next, do the math. This should get you...

100 torr as your answer

- Let me know if you need more help understanding. I would be glad to further explain or do more problems.

in 1783 cavendish was working with his hydrogen gas and found that when he burned it and condensed the vapor it was water. this was very significant since it disproved the greek theory of elements completely since water was not a simple substance but the product of two gases. it was lavoisier who hearing of the experiment gave cavendish's gas the name hydrogen ("water-producer") and added that hydrogen burned by combining with oxygen and that water was a hydrogen-oxygen combination.
