Question

A sample of gas has an initial volume of 3.88 l at a pressure of 707 mmhg . part a if the volume of the gas is increased to 5.43 l , what will the pressure be? (assume constant temperature.)

Answer 1

using boyles law
p1v1=p2v2
v1=3.88
v2=5.43
p1=707
p2=?
707x3.88=p2x5.43
2743.16/5.43=p2
p2=505mmHg
