Boyle’s Law illustrates the inverse relationship of volume and pressure. It follows the formula p1V1 = P2V2 , where P1V1 denotes initial pressure and volume and P2V2 denotes values of pressure and volume.

Now, let us work out for what is asked above.
a. if the pressure is doubled
50.0 p = V x 2p
V = 50.0 p / 2p

= 50.0 /2

= 25.0 m^3
b. if the pressure is cut in half
50.0 p = V x p/2
100 p = V x p
V = 100 m^3
c. if the pressure is tripled
50.0 p = V x 3p
V = 50.0 p / 3p

= 50.0 /3

=16.7 m^3

Write the chemical formula for the cation present in the aqueous solution of cuso4.

Inessa05 [86]

The ionic compounds on dissolving in aqueous solution dissociate into their respective ions that are cations and anions.

The ions present in the aqueous solution of $CuSO_4$ are $Cu^{2+}$ and $SO_{4}^{2-}$ .

So, the chemical formula of the cation present in the aqueous solution of $CuSO_4$ is $Cu^{2+}$ .
