Question

A gas has a pressure of 2.34 atm and occupies 1.3 L. The pressure is increased to 3.40 atm. What is the new volume if the temperature is held constant?

Answer 1

Using the equation P1V1=P2V2 (Boyle’s Law), we have that P1=2.34 atm, V1=1.3 L, and P3=3.40 atm. Now, we just plug in for V2. So V2=(2.34*1.3)/(3.4) = 0.89 (rounding to two decimal places).
