Answer:
1200 mL
Explanation:
Step 1:
Data obtained from the question. This includes the following:
Initial volume (V1) = 400 mL.
Initial pressure (P1) = 600 mmHg.
Final volume (V2) =..?
Final pressure (P2) = 200 mmHg
Step 2:
Determination of the final volume i.e the new volume of the gas.
Considering the question given, we understood that the temperature is constant. Therefore the gas is obeying Boyle's law. Using the Boyle's law equation, the new volume is obtained as follow:
P1V1 = P2V2
600 x 400 = 200 x V2
Divide both side by 200
V2 = (600 x 400) /200
V2 = 1200 mL
Therefore, the new volume of the gas is 1200 mL.
