Question

What is the final pressure of a system (atm) that has the volume increased from 0.75 l to 1.1 l with an initial pressure of 1.25 atm? 1.1 0.85 1.8 1.2 none of the above?

Answer 1

Boyle's law states that pressure is inversely proportional to volume of gas at constant temperature
PV = k
where P - pressure , V - volume and k - constant
P1V1 = P2V2
where parameters for the first instance are on the left side and parameters for the second instance are on the right side of the equation
substituting these values in the equation
1.25 atm x 0.75 L = P x 1.1 L
P = 0.85 atm
final pressure is B) 0.85 atm
