According to Boyle's Law, the relationship between pressure and volume for a fixed amount of gas at a constant temperature is P1 * V1 = P2 * V2.
We can use this equation to solve for the final volume (V2):
P1 * V1 = P2 * V2
(5.2 atm) * (6.0 L) = (1.0 atm) * V2
Now, we can solve for V2:
V2 = (5.2 atm * 6.0 L) / 1.0 atm
V2 = 31.2 L
Therefore, the final volume of the gas is 31.2 liters.
Cyclopropane, C3H6 is a general anesthetic. A 6.0-L sample has a pressure of 5.2 atm.
What is the final volume, in liters, of this gas given to a patient at a pressure of 1.0 atm with no change in temperature and amount of gas? Express your answer using two significant figures
