Question

Calculate the volume of a sample of gas at 5.75 atm if it occupies 5.14 L at 2.49 atm

Answer 1

Boyle's Law

Pressure 1 × Volume 1 = Pressure 2 × Volume2

or P1×V1= P2×V2

Finding Volume 2

(5.75atm)(5.14L) = (2.49atm)(V2)

Then Multiply

29.55atm•L = 2.49atm(V2)

Divided by 2.49

29.56atm•L / 2.49atm = 2.49atm(V2) / 2.49atm

V2= 11.87 L
