Question

A gas with at a constant temperature has an initial pressure of

1.7 atm and volume of 422.16 L. If the pressure is increased to
3.5 atm, what will the new volume be?

A. 205.05 L

B. 152.95 L

C. 504.21 L

D. 259.01 L

Answer 1

The answer is option A

Step-by-step explanation:

The new volume can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

`P_1V_1 = P_2V_2`

Since we are finding the new volume

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

From the question we have

`V_2 = (1.7 * 422.16)/(3.5) \\ = 205.04914...`

We have the final answer as

205.05 L

Hope this helps you
