What will be the volume?

Question

The pressure in a piston is 2.0 Pa at 250C and the volume is 4.0L. If the pressure is increased to 6.0 Pa at the same temperature, what will be the volume?

Answer 1

At constant temperature, pressure and volume should be inversely proportional.

 

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂ ⇒

 

V₂ = (P₁/P₂)V₁ = (2.0 Pa)(4.0 L) / (6.0 Pa) = ? L
