Answer:
3 L
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Initial volume (V₁) = 2 L
Initial pressure (P₁) = 0.75 atm
Final pressure (P₂) = 0.5 atm
Final volume (V₂) =?
Using the Boyle's law equation, the new volume (i.e final volume) of the Ne gas can be obtained as:
Initial volume (V₁) = 2 L
Initial pressure (P₁) = 0.75 atm
Final pressure (P₂) = 0.5 atm
Final volume (V₂) =?
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
0.75 × 2 = 0.5 × V₂
1.5 = 0.5 × V₂
Divide both side by 0.5
V₂ = 1.5 / 0.5
V₂ = 3 L
Thus, the new volume of the Ne gas is 3 L
