Question

6.0L of a gas exert a pressure of 2.5 atm. When the pressure is increased to 10.0atm what is the new volume of the gas

Answer 1

Answer:

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

$V_2 = \frac{6 \times 2.5}{10} = \frac{15}{10} = \frac{3}{2}$

We have the final answer as

1.5 L

Hope this helps you
