Question

The pressure of a gas is 275 mm hg when it is confined in a 2.50 L container. What would be the volume of the gas if the pressure is increased to 800.0 mm Hg?

Answer 1

In this problem we will apply Boyle's Law. According to this law, there is a inverse relation between volume and pressure. As the presseure is being increased in this problem so the volume should be less than the initial volume. Solution is as follow,
