A sample of gas occupies 3.00L STP . If the pressure is decrease to .5 atm what is the new volume of gas?

Question

i need the answer and help cause my teacher doesn't teach

Answer 1

STP = 1 atm pressure and 273K. Since temp didn’t change we have Boyles Law.

P1V1 = P2V2

(1atm)(3.00L) = (0.5 atm)(V2)

Solve for V2 to get the answer. Read about Boyles Law to learn and understand more.
