Answer to Question #342571 in Chemistry for naya

Question

if p1=4 atm and v1=3 l, what will v2 be if p2=7.3 atm?

Answer 1

Given:

P₁ = 4 atm

V₁ = 3 L

T = constant

P₂ = 7.3 atm

V₂ = unknown

Formula: P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

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 volume, solve the equation for V₂:

V₂ = P₁V₁ / P₂

V₂ = (4 atm × 3 L) / (7.3 atm) = 1.6438 L = 1.64 L

V₂ = 1.64 L

Answer: V₂ = 1.64 L
