Question

A gas has a volume of 25 ml, at a pressure of 1 atmosphere (1 atm). Increase the volume to 125 ml and the temperature remains constant. What is the new pressure? please help

Answer 1

0.2 atm

Step-by-step explanation:

The new pressure 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 pressure

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

We have

`P_2 = (25 * 1)/(125) = (25)/(125) = (1)/(5) = 0.2 \\`

We have the final answer as

0.2 atm

Hope this helps you
