If the temperature is held constant and the pressure is increased to 500 kPa, what will be the new volume?

Question

Suppose a 10-liter volume of a certain gas has a temperature of 300 Kelvin (300 K) and a pressure of 200 kilopascals (kPa).

Answer 1

Hi Sim,

 

To answer this question, you'll need to consider the combined gas law (P1 V1 / T1 = P2 V2 / T2).

 

What is the relationship between pressure and volume when temperature is held constant? Understanding the relationship between pressure and volume and using the combined gas law will get you to the answer.

 

Let me know if you have any other questions about this problem.
