Question

You have a gas that has a pressure of 2 ATM and a volume of 10 L. What would be the new volume if the pressure was changed to 1 ATM ?

Answer 1

Answer:

20 L

Explanation:

The new volume can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

$P_1V_1 = P_2V_2$

where

P1 is the initial pressure

P2 is the final pressure

V1 is the initial volume

V2 is the final volume

Since we're finding the new volume

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

We have

$V_2 = \frac{2 \times 10}{1} = 20$

We have the final answer as

20 L

Hope this helps you
