Question

At a constant temperature, 2L of a gas at 4atm of pressure is expanded to 6L. What is the new pressure? Please show steps!!

Answer 1

The answer is 1.33 atm

Step-by-step explanation:

The new pressure can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

`P_1V_1 = P_2V_2`

Since we are finding the new pressure

`P_2 = (P_1V_1)/(V_2) \\`

From the question we have

`V_2 = (2 * 4)/(6) = (8)/(6) = (4)/(3) \\ = 1.333333...`

We have the final answer as

1.33 atm

Hope this helps you
