Answer:
The new volume of the gas is 32L
Explanation:
P1 = 16atm
V1 = 4L
P2 = atm
V2 = ?
According to Boyle's law, the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to its volume provided the temperature remains constant.
P1 * V1 = P2 * V2
V2 = (P1 * V1) / P2
V2 = (16 * 4) / 2
V2 = 64 / 2
V2 = 32L
The new volume of the gas is 32L
The next test would be the lime water test.
Explanation:
If placing the gas in lime water will turn the solution milky, then the gas is most probably carbon dioxide, the lime water (Ca(OH)₂) turns milky due to the formation of solid CaCO₃ that is insoluble after reaction with carbon dioxide.
Carbon dioxide also puts out the flame in the splint test because it does not support combustion.
