Question

The volume of a gas at 99.0 kPa and 300.0 mL. If the pressure is increased to 188 kPa. What will be the new volume? (Assume temperature and amount of gas remains constant)

Answer 1

158.0 mL.

Step-by-step explanation:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Given:

P₁ = 99.0 kPa

V₁ = 300.0 mL

P₂ = 188 kPa (new pressure)

V₂ = ? (new volume)

99.0 kPa * 300.0 mL = 188 kPa * V₂

V₂ = (99.0 kPa * 300.0 mL) / 188 kPa

V₂ = (29700 kPa * mL) / 188 kPa

V₂ ≈ 158.0 mL
