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

Respuesta :

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 [tex]V_1 = 1 \; \text{L}[/tex]
  • Initial Pressure [tex]P_1 = 170[/tex]
  • Final Pressure [tex]P_2 = 540[/tex]

[tex]T_1/T_2 = P_1/P_2[/tex]

Thus

[tex]V_2 = V_1 \cdot (P_1 / P_2) = 0.315[/tex]
