Question

Use Boyle’s law to complete the following:

A. The initial pressure and volume of a gas sample are 1.0 atm and 0.50 L, respectively. If the temperature is held constant and the final pressure is 2.0 atm, what is the final volume?

Answer 1

The answer to your question is: 0.25 l

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

P1 = 1 atm

V1 = 0.5 l

P2 =2 atm

V2 = ?

T = constant

Formula

V1P1 = V2P2

Clear V2 from the formula

V2 = V1P1/P2

Substitution

V2 = (0.5)(1)/2 substitution

= 0.25 l result
