the gas in a cylinder has a volume of 4 liters at a pressure of 123 kPa. the pressure of the gas is increased to 204 kpa. assuming the temperature remains constant, what would the new volume be?

Formula :
As per boyle's law, change in pressure of gas at constant temperature is inversely proportional to the chane in volume of gas.
P1 V1 = P2 V2
We have
P1 = 123 kpa or 1.21 atm [ 1 kpa = 0.0098 atm]
V1 = 4 L
P2 = 204 kpa or 2.01
V2 = ?
1.21 × 4 = 2.01 × V2
V2 = 2.40 L
