Question

DIRECTIONS: Solve the following problems by using G.R.E.S.A (Given, Required,Equation, Solution, and Answer).

1. At constant temperature, the volume of a gas was found to be 500cm³ at a pressure of 760mmHg. If the pressure of the gas is doubled what will be the new volume of the gas?​

Answer 1

According to Boyles law

`\\ \rm\Rrightarrow P\propto (1)/(v)`

• So if pressure is increased volume will be decreased and vice versa

Now pressure is doubled means multiplied by 2

The volume will be divided by two of get halved .

New volume

• 500/2
• 250cm³

Answer 2

SEE BELOW

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 500 cm^3 = V1 760 mm = P1 (760*2) = P2

Required V2

P1V1 = P2V2

RE-ARRANGE TO P1V1/P2 = V2

(760)(500) /(760*2) = V2

V2 = 250 ML
