Use the correct equation to solve: If a volume of 3.40 L IS
found to have a pressure of 1.20 atm at a temperature of
25 C, has its pressure increased to 1.50 atm while the
temperature remains the same, what will the new volume

Answer:

2.72L

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

V1 (initial volume) = 3.40 L

P1 (initial pressure) = 1.20 atm

P2 (final pressure) = 1.50 atm

V2 (final volume) =?

Since the temperature remains constant, the gas is simply obeying Boyle's law. Using the Boyle's law equation P1V1 = P2V2, we can easily find the final volume as follow:

P1V1 = P2V2

1.2 x 3.4 = 1.5 x V2

Divide both side by 1.5

V2 = (1.2 x 3.4) /1.5

V2 = 2.72L

Therefore, the final volume is 2.72L
