Boyle Law says “the pressure of fixed amount of ideal gas which is at constant temperature is
inversely proportional to its volume".
P = 1/V
Where, P is pressure of the ideal gas and V is volume of the ideal gas.
For two situations, this law can be added as;
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
14 lb/in² x V₁ = 70 lb/in² x 500 mL
V₁ =
2500 mL
Hence, the needed volume of atmospheric air = 2500
mL
Here, we made two assumptions. They are,
1. The
atmospheric air acts as ideal gas.
2.
Temperature is a constant.
We didn't convert the units to SI units since
converting volume and pressure are products of two numbers, they will cut off.
