Question

If the pressure on a 1.04L of a sample of gas is doubled at constant temperature , what will be the new volume of the gas?

Answer 1

Final volume is equal to 0.52 L

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given initially the volume is equal to
`V_1=1.04L`

Let the initial pressure is
`P_1`

At constant temperature
`P_1V_1=P_2V_2`, here
`P_1,V_1` is initial pressure and initial volume respectively and
`P_2,V_2` is final pressure and final volume respectively

Now pressure is doubled so final pressure
`P_2=2P_1`

So
`P_1* 1.04=2P_1* V_2`

`V_2=0.52L`

So final volume is equal to 0.52 L
