Questions: What is the volume of gas (in L) at 550 mmHg? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant figures.

Solution Steps

To solve this problem, we need to determine the volume of a gas at a given pressure. However, the problem does not provide enough information, such as the initial conditions or the amount of gas. Assuming this is a continuation of a problem where the initial conditions are known, we can use the ideal gas law or Boyle's Law if the temperature and amount of gas remain constant.

We are given the pressure of the gas as 550 mmHg. However, we need additional information such as the initial volume, initial pressure, or temperature to proceed with calculations.

Boyle's Law states that for a given amount of gas at constant temperature, the pressure and volume are inversely proportional: \[ P_1 V_1 = P_2 V_2 \] where \(P_1\) and \(V_1\) are the initial pressure and volume, and \(P_2\) and \(V_2\) are the final pressure and volume.

If we had the initial conditions, we could rearrange the equation to solve for the unknown volume \(V_2\): \[ V_2 = \frac{P_1 V_1}{P_2} \] However, without additional information, we cannot calculate the volume.
