Question

If the volume of a gas is 2.0 L and its

pressure is 5 atm what will the new
reported volume if the pressure is
increased to 9.5 atm?

Answer 1

The answer is 1.05 atm

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 = (2 * 5)/(9.5) = (10)/(9.5) \\ = 1.05263157...`

We have the final answer as

1.05 atm

Hope this helps you
