Final answer:
By applying Boyle's Law, it's determined that when the pressure on a 200 mL sample of CO2 is doubled from 60 kPa to 120 kPa at a constant temperature, the new volume of the gas will be 100 mL.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question involves a scenario where the pressure on a 200 mL sample of CO2 at a constant temperature is increased from 60 kPa to 120 kPa.
To find the new volume of the gas, Boyle's Law can be applied, which states that the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume when the temperature and the number of moles of the gas remain constant.
Using the formula P1V1 = P2V2 where P1 and V1 are the initial pressure and volume and P2 and V2 are the final pressure and volume, respectively, we can calculate the new volume of the gas.
Since P1 = 60 kPa, V1 = 200 mL, and P2 = 120 kPa, we can solve for V2:
V2 = (P1 * V1) / P2
V2 = (60 kPa * 200 mL) / 120 kPa
V2 = 100 mL
Therefore, the new volume of the CO2 gas when the pressure is increased to 120 kPa is 100 mL.
