Question

6.At a pressure of 5.0 atmospheres, a sample of gas occupies 40 liters. What volume

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 200 L

Explanation:

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

$P_1V_1 = P_2V_2$

where

P1 is the initial pressure

P2 is the final pressure

V1 is the initial volume

V2 is the final volume

Since we are finding the new volume

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

So we have

$V_2 = \frac{5 \times 40}{1} \\ = 5 \times 40$

We have the final answer as

200 L

Hope this helps you
