Answer:
the pressure of the gas is 1.67 atm when the volume increased to 4.5 L.
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming the temperature and the amount of gas remain constant (i.e., the process is isobaric):
Using Boyle's law, we can relate the initial pressure (P1) and volume (V1) to the final pressure (P2) and volume (V2):
P1V1 = P2V2
Plugging in the given values:
P1 = 1.50 atm
V1 = 5.00 L
V2 = 4.5 L
Solving for P2:
P2 = (P1V1)/V2 = (1.50 atm x 5.00 L)/4.5 L = 1.67 atm
