Given:
V1 = 3.5L
P1 = 2.5 atm
Determine V2, when P2 = 10 atm
Boyle's Law:
Boyle's Law states that the pressure of the gas increases when the volume of the container decreases. This can be represented by the equation,
P1 V1 = P2 V2
V2 = P1 V1/P2
Solution:
Substitute the given values of P1, V1, and P2.
V2 = (2.5 atm)(3.5L)/10 atm
V2 = 8.75 atm.L/10 atm
The unit atm cancels.
V2 = 0.875 L
Final answer:
V2 = 0.875L
