a gas with a pressure of 845 torrs occupies 11. o l what will the pressure be for a volume of 2.50 l if the temperature remains constant
P1 = 845 torr
V1 = 11.0 L
T1 = T2 = constant
P2 = ???
V2 = 2.50 L
Solution:
Since the temperature and amount of gas remain unchanged, Boyle's law can be used.
Boyle's gas law can be expressed as: P1V1 = P2V2
To find the new pressure, solve the equation for P2:
P2 = P1V1 / V2
P2 = (845 torr × 11.0 L) / (2.50 L) = 3718 torr
P2 = 3718 torr
Answer: The pressure will be 3718 torrs
