Question

The volume of a gas is 590 mL at 384 kPa pressure. What will the volume be when the pressure is changed to 546 kPa, assuming the temperature

remains constant?

Answer 1

The answer is 414.95 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume when the pressure is changed to 546 kPa , we use the formula for Boyle's law which is

`P_1V_1 = P_2V_2`

where

P1 is the initial pressure

P2 is the final pressure

V1 is the initial volume

V2 is the final volume

Since we are finding the final volume

`V_2 = (P_1V_1)/(P_2) \\`

We have

`V_2 = (384000 * 590)/(546000) = (226560000)/(546000) \\ = 414.945054...`

We have the final answer as

414.95 mL
