A gas with at a constant temperature has an initial pressure of
1.7 atm and volume of 422.16 L. If the pressure is increased to
3.5 atm, what will the new volume be?

A. 205.05 L

B. 152.95 L

C. 504.21 L

D. 259.01 L

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is option A

Explanation:

The new volume can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

[tex]P_1V_1 = P_2V_2[/tex]

Since we are finding the new volume

[tex]V_2 = \frac{P_1V_1}{P_2} \\[/tex]

From the question we have

[tex]V_2 = \frac{1.7 \times 422.16}{3.5} \\ = 205.04914...[/tex]

We have the final answer as

205.05 L

Hope this helps you
