m/1,609.344=mi (meters divided by 1,609.344 equals miles)
Given,
P1 = 0.98 atm
V1 = 0.5 L
V2 = 1.0 L
P2 = ?
Solution,
According to Boyle's Law,
P1V1 = P2V2
0.98 × 0.5 = 1.0 × P2
P2 = 0.98 × 0.5 × 1.0
P2 = 0.49 atm
Answer - The new pressure is 0.49 atm.
I think it would be C) The surrounding soil can become very fertile
