Question

A gas occupies 4.31 liters at a pressure of 0.755 atm. Determine the volume if the pressure is increased to 1.25 atm. (Boyle)

Answer 1

Answer:

2.60 L

Explanation:

The new volume can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

$P_1V_1 = P_2V_2$

Since we are finding the new volume

$V_2 = \frac{P_1V_1}{P_2}$

From the question we have

$V_2 = \frac{4.31 \times 0.755}{1.25} = \frac{3.25405}{1.25} \\ = 2.60324$

We have the final answer as

2.60 L

Hope this helps you
