Question

A gas occupies a volume of 0.2 L at 176 mm Hg. What volume will the gas occupy at 760 mm Hg?

Answer 1

`V_2=0.046L`

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we apply the Boyle's law as an inversely proportional relationship allowing us to understand the pressure-volume behavior as shown below:

`P_1V_1=P_2V_2`

In such a way, solving for the final volume V2, we obtain:

`V_2=(P_1V_1)/(P_2)=(0.2L*176mmHg)/(760mmHg) \\\\V_2=0.046L`

Best regards.
