A sample of ideal gas at room temperature occupies a volume of 28.0 L at a pressure of 882 torr. If the pressurechanges to 4410 torr , with no change in the temperature or moles of gas, what is the new volume, V?Express your answer with the appropriate units.

To solve this problem, we could use the Boyle's law since there's a sample of ideal gas and temperature is constant.

Boyle's law tells us that:

Replacing the values of the problem:

The new volume V equals 5.6L.

A sample of ideal gas at room temperature occupies a volume of 28.0 L at a pressure-example-1
A sample of ideal gas at room temperature occupies a volume of 28.0 L at a pressure-example-2
