Question

A gas occupies a volume of 131.0-mL at 165.2-kPa. What volume will the gas occupy at 170.8-kPa if the temperature remains the same?

Answer 1

The relationship between the pressure and the volume of the gas at a constant temperature is given by Boyle's law. The volume, of the gas at  170.8 kPa is 126.70 mL.

What is Boyle's law?

Boyle's law states the inverse relationship between the pressure and the volume of the gas. The formula for the law can be given by:

$\rm P_{1}V_{1} = P_{2}V_{2}$

Given,

Initial pressure = 165.2 kPa

Initial volume = 131.0 mL

Final pressure = 170.8 kPa

The final volume is calculated as:

165.2 * 131.0 = 170.8 * V

V = 126.70 mL

Therefore, the final volume of the gas is 126.70 mL.
