At constant temperature, a quantity of an ideal gas occupies 50 mL at 500 mmHg pressure. At what pressure, the volume will be 100 mL?
At a constant pressure, the density of a certain amount of an ideal gas is ____________.
A box contains 0.90 g of liquid water in equilibrium with water vapour at 27°C. The equilibrium vapour pressure of water at 27°C is 32.0 Torr. When the volume of the box is increased, some of the liquid water evaporates to maintain the equilibrium pressure. If the liquid water evaporates, then the volume of the box must be - litre (nearest integer) R = 0.0821 L atm K-1 mol-1.
(Ignore the volume of the liquid water and assume water vapours behave as an ideal gas)
