\(500cm^{-3}\) of a gas is collected at 0°C and at a pressure of 72cm of mercury. What is the volume of the the gas at the same temperature and at a pressure of 76cm of the same mercury?

  • A. \(\frac{76\times500}{72}cm^3\)
  • B. \(\frac{72\times500}{76}cm^3\)
  • C. \(\frac{72\times76}{500}cm^3\)
  • D. \(\frac{76}{72\times500}cm^3\)

Correct Answer: B. \(\frac{72\times500}{76}cm^3\)

Explanation

\(P_1V_1=P_2V_2, V_2= \frac{72\times500}{76}cm^3\)
