Question

A gas has a volume of 5.0 L at a pressure of 50kPa. What happens to the volume when then the pressure is increased 125kPa. The temperature does not change. ​

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  volume goes to 2.0 L

Step-by-step explanation:

At constant temperature, volume and pressure are inversely related. Increasing the pressure by a factor of 125/50 = 2.5 will cause the volume to be reduced by that factor.

  volume = 5.0L / 2.5

  volume = 2.0 L
