Question

A 175 ml sample of neon had its pressure changed from 75 kPa to 150 kPa. What is its new volume?

Answer 1

The new volume is 87.5 ml.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

Volume of sample of neon is 175 ml

The pressure changed from 75 kPa to 150 kPa.

We need to find new volume.

It is based on the concept of Boyle's law. Let V₂ is new volume. So,

`P_1V_1=P_2V_2\\\\V_2=(P_1V_1)/(P_2)\\\\V_2=(175* 75)/(150)\\\\V_2=87.5\ ml`

So, new volume is 87.5 ml.
