PLZ HELP I DONT GET IT

A sealed can of your favorite soda has a carbon dioxide gas (CO2) volume of 0.05 L. When it is refrigerated, the pressure is 207 kPa. When you open it, the pressure drops to 101 kPa. After opening, what will the new volume of the carbon dioxide gas be?

Answer 1

0.1 L

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, we obtained the following data:

Initial volume (V₁) = 0.05 L

Initial Pressure (P₁) = 207 KPa

Final pressure (P₂) = 101 KPa

Final volume (V₂) =?

We can obtain the new volume (i.e the final volume) of the gas by using the Boyle's law equation as illustrated below:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

207 × 0.05 = 101 × V₂

10.35 = 101 × V₂

Divide both side by 101

V₂ = 10.35 / 101

V₂ = 0.1 L

Thus, the new volume of the gas is 0.1 L
