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

Answer:

3.44 L

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

$V_2 = \frac{5 \times 633}{920} = \frac{3165}{920} \\ = 3.440217...$

We have the final answer as

3.44 L

Hope this helps you
