A gas has a volume of 300 mL and a pressure of 2 atm. What volume will the gas occupy when the ppressure is
increased to 7 atm

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is 85.71 mL

Explanation:

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

[tex]P_1V_1 = P_2V_2[/tex]

Since we are finding the new volume

[tex]V_2 = \frac{P_1V_1}{P_2} \\[/tex]

From the question we have

[tex]V_2 = \frac{300 \times 2}{7} = \frac{600}{7} \\ = 85.714285...[/tex]

We have the final answer as

85.71 mL

Hope this helps you
