A sample of gas has an initial volume of 4 5 L ... - SS1 Chemistry States of Matter Question

A sample of gas has an initial volume of 4.5 L at a pressure of 2.5 atm. If the pressure is increased to 4.0 atm while keeping the temperature constant, using Boyle’s law what will be the new volume of the gas?

According to Boyle's law, the product of pressure and volume is constant at constant temperature.

P1 x V1 = P2 x V2

Substituting the given values, we have:

(2.5 atm) x (4.5 L) = (4.0 atm) x V2

Solving for V2:

V2 = (2.5 atm x 4.5 L) / (4.0 atm) = 2.8125 L

Therefore, the new volume of the gas will be 2.8125 L.
