What is the volume of a gas at $1.032 \times 10^5 \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}$ if it occupies $1 \mathrm{dm}^3$ of volume at normal temperature and pressure?
  1. $0.982 \cdot \mathrm{dm}^3$
  2. $1.3 \mathrm{dm}^3$
  3. $1.5 \mathrm{dm}^3$
  4. $1.7 \mathrm{dm}^3$

Solution

$1 \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}=1 \mathrm{~Pa}=0.9869 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~atm}$ Normal pressure $=1 \mathrm{~atm}$ $\begin{aligned} \mathrm{P}_1 \mathrm{~V}_1=\mathrm{P}_2 \mathrm{~V}_2 \\ \mathrm{~V}_1=\frac{1 \mathrm{~atm} \times 1 \mathrm{dm}^3}{\left(1.032 \times 10^5 \times 0.987 \times 10^{-5}\right) \mathrm{atm}}=0.982 \mathrm{dm}^3 \end{aligned}$
