Question

The pressure on 2.50 L of gas is changed from 4.5 atm to 2.2 atm. What is the new volume of gas?

Answer 1

5.11 L

Step-by-step 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 = (P_1V_1)/(P_2) \\`

From the question we have

`V_2 = (2.5 * 4.5)/(2.2) = (11.25)/(2.2) \\ = 5.1136666...`

We have the final answer as

5.11 L

Hope this helps you
