Question

The pressure of a 5.0 L sample of gas changes from 3.0 atm to 10.0 atm while the temperature remains constant. What is the gas’s new volume?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 1.5 L

Explanation:

The new volume can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

$P_1V_1 = P_2V_2$

Since we are finding the new volume

$V_2 = \frac{P_1V_1}{P_2}$

From the question we have

$V_2 = \frac{5 \times 3}{10} = \frac{15}{10} = \frac{3}{5}$

We have the final answer as

1.5 L

Hope this helps you
