Calclate its volume after compression?

In summary, a gas with an initial volume of 0.1 m^3, a pressure of 140 kN/m^2, and a temperature of 25 degrees is compressed to a pressure of 700 kN/m^2 and a temperature of 60 degrees. Using the equation P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2, the volume after compression is found to be 0.022 m^3.

Homework Statement



A gas at an initial volume of 0.1 m^3, a pressure of 140 kN/m^2 and a temperture of 25 degrees is compressed to a pressure of 700kN/m^2 and a temerture of 60 degrees.

Determine its volume after compression?

Homework Equations



P1 × V1 = P2 × V2
T1 T1


The Attempt at a Solution



P1 = 140Kn/m^2
V1 = 0.1 M^3
T1 = 298 K

P × V = 140 × 0.1 = 0.04
T 298

P1 = 700kN/m^2
V1 = ?
T1 = 333 K

I need to find V1 and need help to show me how to get this value please thanks In advance.

Is it an ideal gas? Use the equation

[tex] \frac{P_1 V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2 V_2}{T_2}[/tex]

It follows from PV = NkT.

V2 = p1v1t2 / t1p2


v2= 140,000, 0.1, 333.15 / 298.15, 700000 = 0.022

is this correct

FAQ: Calclate its volume after compression?

What is the formula for calculating the volume after compression?

The formula for calculating the volume after compression is V1 = V0 * (P1/P0), where V1 is the final volume, V0 is the initial volume, P1 is the final pressure, and P0 is the initial pressure.

Why is it important to calculate the volume after compression?

Calculating the volume after compression is important because it allows us to determine the change in volume of a substance when it is subjected to pressure. This is crucial in understanding the behavior and properties of materials under different conditions.

How do you measure the initial and final volume for compression calculations?

The initial and final volumes can be measured using a variety of methods, such as using a graduated cylinder or a volumetric flask. It is important to ensure accurate measurements for more precise calculations.

What are some common applications of calculating volume after compression?

Calculating volume after compression has various applications in different fields. For example, in the field of material science, it is used to understand the behavior of materials under high pressure, while in the field of chemistry, it is used to determine the volume changes in gases during chemical reactions.

Are there any factors that can affect the accuracy of volume after compression calculations?

Yes, there are several factors that can affect the accuracy of volume after compression calculations, such as experimental errors in measurement, temperature changes, and the compressibility of the substance being compressed. It is important to take these factors into consideration for more precise results.
