Question

the pressure of a has is 1.0 atm and it occupies a volume of 2.50 L. What will he the new volume of this has if the pressure is increased to 2.0 atm

Answer 1

Answer:

1.25 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

$V_2 = \frac{1 \times 2.5}{2} = \frac{2.5}{2}$

We have the final answer as

1.25 L

Hope this helps you
