A sample of gas has a volume of 12.0L and a pressure of 2.00 atm. If the pressure of gas is increased to 6.00 atm, what is the new volume of the gas?
A. 2L
B. 4L
C. 16 L
D. 8L

Respuesta :

Answer:

B; 4 L

Explanation:

From the Boyle’s law of gases, the volume occupied by a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure exerted by the gas

Mathematically, we have this as;

PV = K

Given;

P1 = 2 atm

V1 = 12 l

P2 = 6 atm

V2 = ?

We have that;

P1V1 = P2V2

2 * 12 = 6 * V2

V2 = (2 * 12)/6

V2 = 24/6

V2 = 4 L
