What would be the new volume if the pressure on 600 mL is increased from 90 kPa to 150 kPa? (Answer = 360mL)

Question

What would be the new volume if the pressure on 600 mL is

increased from 90 kPa to 150 kPa? (Answer = 360mL)

Answer 1

With all else being constant (such as moles, temperature, etc), we have...

P1V1 = P2V2

P1 = initial pressure = 90 kPa

V1 = initial volume = 600 mls

P2 = final pressure = 150 kPa

V2 = final volume = x mls

(90 kPa)(600 mls) = (150 kPa)(x mls)

x = 360 mls
