Question

2. A sample of gas has a pressure of 195 kPa and a volume of 3.50 L. If the pressure

is increased to 150 kPa, what is the new volume?

Answer 1

4.55 L

Step-by-step explanation:

The new volume can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

`P_1V_1 = P_2V_2`

Since we're finding the new volume

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

We have

`V_2 = (195000 * 3.5)/(150000) = (682500)/(150000) \\ = 4.55`

We have the final answer as

4.55 L

Hope this helps you
