Question

Explain how you can use Boyle's law to determine the new volume of gas when it's pressure is increased from 170 to 5:40 the original volume of gas is one leader assume the temperature and number of particles are consistent what is the new volume

Answer 1

The Boyle's Law states an inverse relationship between the pressure of a gas and its volume when its temperature stays constant.

For the question

• Initial Volume
  `V_1 = 1 \; \text{L}`
• Initial Pressure
  `P_1 = 170`
• Final Pressure
  `P_2 = 540`

`T_1/T_2 = P_1/P_2`

Thus

`V_2 = V_1 \cdot (P_1 / P_2) = 0.315`
