Question

A gas has a volume of 5.0 L and pressure of 633 mmHg. The pressure is increased to 920 mmHg, what is the new volume in L?

Answer 1

3.44 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 * 633)/(920) = (3165)/(920) \\ = 3.440217...`

We have the final answer as

3.44 L

Hope this helps you
