How are physical andchemical changes different?

Physical changes happen when you do/mix something that can be reversed. Best example is ripping a paper, you can just tape it back together so it is just an observable thing that changes, which is a physical change. Chemical changes happen when you mix things and they make a new substance and can’t be reversed. The best example of this is the Statue of Liberty, which changed in color due to the chemical change between the oxygen and copper, which created a new substance (rust) which made it green instead of copper.
Sorry for the long answer but hope this helps!

If 10.5 L of a gas at 0.98 atm has its pressure increased to 1.50 atm, what is the new volume?

serg [7]

Answer:

The new volume of this gas is 6.86 liters.

Assumption: the temperature of this gas stays the same, and this gas is ideal such that Boyle's Law applies.

Explanation:

By Boyle's Law, the volume of an ideal gas shall be inversely proportional to the pressure on it when temperature stays the same (as in an isothermal process.)

In other words,

$\displaystyle V \propto \frac{1}{P}$ ,
