Question

The volume of a gas at 59.0kPa is 600ml. if the pressure is increase to 138.0kPa, what will be the new volume?

Answer 1

The answer is 256.52 mL

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 = (59000 * 600)/(138000) = (35400000)/(138000) \\ = 256.521739...`

We have the final answer as

256.52 mL

Hope this helps you
