Question:

A quantity of hydrogen gas occupies a volume of 30.0 mL at a certain temperature and pressure. What volume would half this mass of hydrogen occupy at triple the absolute temperature if the pressure were one ninth that of the original gas?

270 mL

90 mL

405 mL

137 mL

Solution:

PV=nRT
If half of the mass of hydrogen occupies at triple the absolute temperature if the pressure were one-ninth the original gas,
Here initial no. of moles is half of the final no. of moles because molar mass is same both the time.
V1=n1RT1/P1=30 mL
Again,
P2V2=n2RT2
So (1/9) × V = (n1/2) × R × 3T1
From 1 and 2 equation
V = 9 × 30 × 3 / 2 = 405 mL
Hence option C is correct.
