Question

A container has a volume of 5.85 L and a pressure of 4.25 atm. What will the volume be

If the containers pressure is changed to 2.75 atm?

Answer 1

9.04 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 = (4.25 * 5.85)/(2.75) = (24.8625)/(2.75) \\ = 9.0409...`

We have the final answer as

9.04 L

Hope this helps you
