Question

To what volume would you have to change 6.5 Liters of a gas at 1.25 atm in order to

decrease its pressure to 1.0 atm?

Answer 1

8.13 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

The required volume can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law

`V_2 = (P_1V_1)/(P_2) \\`

where

P1 is the initial pressure

P2 is the final pressure

V1 is the initial volume

V2 is the final volume

From the question we have

`V_2 = (6.5 * 1.25)/(1) = 6.5 * 1.25 \\ = 8.125`

We have the final answer as

8.13 mL

Hope this helps you
