Question

6.At a pressure of 5.0 atmospheres, a sample of gas occupies 40 liters. What volume

will the same sample occupy at 1.0 atmosphere?
(a) 50 L
(b) 100 L
O (C) 80 L
(d) 200 L

Answer 1

The answer is 200 L

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`

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 new volume

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

So we have

`V_2 = (5 * 40)/(1) \\ = 5 * 40`

We have the final answer as

200 L

Hope this helps you
