Question

If the volume of a gas is 2.0 L and its
pressure is 5 atm what will the new
reported volume if the pressure is
increased to 9.5 atm?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 1.05 atm

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

$V_2 = \frac{P_1V_1}{P_2}$

From the question we have

$V_2 = \frac{2 \times 5}{9.5} = \frac{10}{9.5} \\ = 1.05263157...$

We have the final answer as

1.05 atm

Hope this helps you
