A gas contained in a piston cylinder assembly undergoes a process from state 1 to state 2 defined by the following relationship and given properties. Determine the final volume (V2) of the gas. P*V= constant P1 = 445 kPa V1 = 2.6 m^3 P2 = 140 kPa ans is 8.3 but how do i get it?

Answer:

V2 = final volume = 8.3m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given P1 = 445 kPa, V1 = 2.6 m^3, P2 = 140 kPa

From PV = constant; P1V1 =P2V2 , where V2 = final volume

V2 = P1V1/P2

Substituting in the equation ;

V2 = 445 x 2.6 / 140

V2 = final volume = 8.3m^3
