Question

1. You have 3.5L of a gas at 6 atm of pressure. The pressure drops to 2.4 atm, what is the new volume of

the gas?
I

Answer 1

8.75 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 = (3.5 * 6)/(2.4) = (21)/(2.4) \\ = 8.75`

We have the final answer as

8.75 L

Hope this helps you
