The products enable our nations efforts to improve energy efficiency . From insulation to coolants to packaging , the product of chemistry help save energy day . But chemistry also is the source of many innovative technologies that drive cleaner energy options , create green jobs and propel u.s. economic growth.
The volume becomes two. You have to use the equation P1 x V1 = P2 x V2
P is pressure and V is volume.
P1 = 50 P2 = 125
V1 = 5 V2 = v (we don't know what it is)
Then set up the equation:
50 times 5 = 125 times v
250 = 125v
the divide both sides by 125 and isolate v
2 = v
Therefore the volume is decreased to 2.
Also, Boyle's Law explains this too: Volume and pressure are inversely related, This means that when one goes up the other goes down (ie when pressure increases volume decreases and vice versa). Becuase the pressure went up from 50 KPa tp 125 KPa the volume had to decrease.
This process is called meiosis! good luck!
