When a gas is kept at a constant temperature and pressure on it changes, its volume changes according to the following formula,

known as Boyle’s law
where P1 and V1 are the pressure (in atm) and the volume (in litres) at the beginning, and P2 and V2 are the pressure and the volume at the end. Find the final pressure P2 if V1 = 1.5 litres, P1 = 4.5 atm and V2 = 3.5 litres. Round to the nearest tenth of a atm.

Answer:  Approximately 1.9 atm

============================================

Work Shown:

P_1*V_1 = P_2*V_2 \ \text{ ... Boyle's Law}\\\\4.5*1.5 = P_2*3.5\\\\6.75 = P_2*3.5\\\\P_2*3.5 = 6.75\\\\P_2 = \frac{6.75}{3.5}\\\\P_2 \approx 1.92857142857142\\\\P_2 \approx 1.9\\\\

If the volume is 3.5 liters, then the pressure is approximately 1.9 atm.

Note the increase in volume leads to the reduction of pressure, and vice versa. The two variables have an inverse relationship.

-----------

As a check,

P_1*V_1 = P_2*V_2\\\\4.5*1.5 \approx 1.9*3.5\\\\6.75 \approx 6.65\\\\

We don't get the exact thing on both sides, but the two sides are close enough. We have rounding error due to P2 being not exact.

A more accurate check could be

P_1*V_1 = P_2*V_2\\\\4.5*1.5 \approx 1.92857*3.5\\\\6.75 \approx 6.749995\\\\

which has the two sides much closer to one another. This helps us verify the answer.

Convert 83% into a decimal<br> can you guy help me to do that
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
To convert a percentage to decimal form, you need to divide the number in the percent by 100. In reality, that just looks like moving the decimal point to the left two places.

83% / 100 = 0.83

83% in decimal form is 0.83.
Hope that helped! =)

maria [59]

Answer:

11.75

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question above 8 is the difference of d and 3.75

We are required to find the value of d

d-3.75= 8

d= 8 + 3.75

d= 11.75

Hence the value of d is 11.75
