Question

For many purposes we can treat ammonia (NH₃) as an ideal gas at temperatures above its boiling point of -33. °C.

Suppose the temperature of a sample of ammonia gas is lowered from 23.0 °C to -17.0 °C, and at the same time the pressure is changed. If the initial pressure was 0.44 kPa and the volume decreased by 30.0%, what is the final pressure? Round your answer to the correct number of significant digits.

Expert Solution

Step 1: basic formula to be used while solving the given question:

The relationship between a fixed amount of gas's pressure, volume, and absolute temperature is expressed by the combined gas law. The amount of gas is the single constant in a combined gas law problem.

According to the combined gas law:

$fraction numerator straight P subscript 1 straight V subscript 1 over denominator straight T subscript 1 end fraction equals fraction numerator straight P subscript 2 straight V subscript 2 over denominator straight T subscript 2 end fraction$

here P₁, V₁ and T₁ are the initial pressure, volume and temperature respectively.

P₂, V₂ and T₂ are the final pressure, volume and temperature respectively.
