Question

At 1.0atm a gas has a volume of 36.7 L, what is the volume at 5.3atm?

Answer 1

`V_2=6.92L`

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we use the Boyle's law to understand the volume-pressure relationship as an inversely proportional relationship:

`P_1V_1=P_2V_2`

In such a way, we compute the resulting final volume as shown below:

`V_2=(P_1V_1)/(P_2)=(1.0atm*36.7L)/(5.3atm) \\\\V_2=6.92L`

Best regards.
