<h2>Hello!</h2>
The answer is:
The new volume will be 1 L.
To solve the problem, since we are given the volume and the first and the second pressure, to calculate the new volume, we need to assume that the temperature is constant.
To solve this problem, we need to use Boyle's Law. Boyle's Law establishes when the temperature is kept constant, the pressure and the volume will be proportional.
Boyle's Law equation is:
So, we are given the information:
Then, isolating the new volume and substituting into the equation, we have:
Hence, the new volume will be 1 L.
Have a nice day!
