Question

if i initially have 4.0 L of a gas at a pressure of 1.1 atm, what will the volume be if i increase the pressure to 3.4 atm

Answer 1

The answer is 1.29 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`

Since we are finding the new volume

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

From the question we have

`V_2 = (4 * 1.1)/(3.4) = (4.4)/(3.4) \\ =1.294117647...`

We have the final answer as

1.29 L

Hope this helps and
