Question

if i initially have 4.0 L of a gas at a pressure of 1.1 atm, what will the volume be if i increase the pressure to 3.4 atm

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 1.29 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

$V_2 = \frac{4 \times 1.1}{3.4} = \frac{4.4}{3.4} \\ =1.294117647...$

We have the final answer as

1.29 L

Hope this helps and
