Question

A gas occupies 1.56 L at 1.00 atm. What will be the volume of this gas if the pressure becomes 3.00 atm?

Answer 1

0.52 L

Step-by-step explanation:

The new volume of the gas 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 = (1.56 * 1)/(3) = (1.56)/(3) \\`

We have the final answer as

0.52 L

Hope this helps you
