The volume of a gas at 155.0 kPa changes from 22.0 L to 10.0 L. What

is the new pressure if the temperature remains constant?​

Answer:

V1P1=V2P2

155(22L)=P(10L0

P=341kPg

Step-by-step explanation:

The following format is copied directly from your notes for how to solve these!!!

1) Analyze problem statement to find knowns and unknowns for each gas variable

V1 = 22.0 L P1 = 155.0 kPa T1 = T2 n = constant (same sample of gas)

V2= 10.0 L P2 = ? kPa T2 = T1 temperature is constant

2) Decide which of the gas laws to use and write its formula.

Only P and V are given, so Boyle's law is used P1V1 = P2V2

3) Change any temperature values to Kelvin (if T is needed) not needed

4) Plug in the knowns - INCLUDING UNITS!!

P1V1 = P2V2

(155.0 kPa) (22.0 L) = P2 (10.0 L)

P2 = (155.0 kPa)(22.0 L) = 341 kPa

(10.0 L)The following format is copied directly from your notes for how to solve these!!!

(155.0 kPa) (22.0 L) = P2 (10.0 L)

P2 = (155.0 kPa)(22.0 L) = 341 kPa

(10.0 L)
