Answer:
The answer to your question is V2 = 2666.7 ml
Explanation:
Data
Pressure 1 = P1 = 2 atm
Volume 1 = V1 = 4000 ml
Pressure 2 = P2 = 3 atm
Volume 2 = V2 = ?
Process
To solve this problem use Boyle's law.
P1V1 = P2V2
-Solve for V2
V2 = P1V1 / P2
-Substitution
V2 = (2)(4000)/3
-Simplification
V2 = 8000 / 3
-Result
V2 = 2666.7 ml
-Conclusion
If we increase the pressure, the volume will decrease.
