Help with Gas Laws in Chemistry?

Question

A sample containing 1.20 moles of helium has a volume of 32.0L/ Suppose a leak allows half of the helium atoms to escape, what would be the new volume of the gas sample? (assume P and T remain the same)


I believe that since P and T remain the same then we can use avacadros law were v1/n1=v2/n2
setting v2 by its self

v2= n2*v1/n1

ok I also know that 1.20 moles is n1 and 32.0L is v1 but n2 I dont know. It says that half of the helium atom escaped. do i divide 1.20/2 to get n2??

Answer 1

It says that half of the helium atom escaped. do i divide 1.20/2 to get n2??

YES!!!!
