Answer:

C.) PV = k

Explanation:

Boyle's Law is a variation of the Ideal Gas Law when all variables, except for pressure and volume, are held constant.

Pressure is represented by "P" and volume is represented by "V". In the Ideal Gas Law, pressure and volume are inversely proportional (if one goes up, the other goes down). That being said, the equation which best represents Boyle's Law is PV = k.

A gas at 400 k is placed in a 4.0 l moveable piston. The gas is cooled to 252 k. What is the new volume of the piston?

Answer:

2.52L

Explanation:

Given parameters:

T₁ = 400K

V₁ = 4L

T₂ = 252K

unknown

V₂ = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we are going to apply charle's law. The law states that the volume of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to temperature provided pressure is constant.

Mathematically,

$\frac{V_{1} }{T_{1} } = \frac{V_{2} }{T_{2} }$
