Question

The pressure of a 5.0 L sample of gas changes from 3.0 atm to 10.0 atm while the temperature remains constant. What is the gas’s new volume?

Answer 1

The answer is 1.5 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 = (5 * 3)/(10) = (15)/(10) = (3)/(5) \\`

We have the final answer as

1.5 L
