Question

Boyle’s law states that for a fixed amount of gas, the volume of the gas at a constant temperature is inversely proportional to the pressure. If a certain gas occupies 9.84 liters at a pressure of 50 centimeters of mercury (cm Hg) what is the approximate pressure when the volume is increased to 12 liters ?

Answer 1

Answer:

41 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

v= a/p

v= 9.84 when p= 50

9.84= a/50        a=492

v= 492/p

12= 492/p

p= 492/12

p= 41
