Question

using boyles law solve the following: An unknown gas has a volume of 200.0 mL and a pressure of 350.0 torr, if pressure were increased to 700.0 torr, what is the resulting volume?

Answer 1

New gas volume (V1) = 0.1 L

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Gas volume (V) = 200 ML = 200 / 1,000 = 0.2 L

Pressure (P) = 350 torr

New pressure (P1) = 700.0 torr

Find:

New gas volume (V1) = ?

Computation:

According to boyle's law:

⇒ Gas volume (V) × Pressure (P) = New gas volume (V1) × New pressure (P1)

⇒ 0.2 L × 350 torr = New gas volume (V1) × 700 torr

⇒ 70 / 700 = New gas volume (V1)

⇒ New gas volume (V1) = 0.1 L
