At constant temperature, if a gas occupies 312 mL at a pressure of 1.60 atm, what pressure is necessary for this gas to occupy a volume of 500 mL?

P₂ = 1.0 atm

Explanation:

Boyles Law problem => P ∝ 1/V at constant temperature (T).

Empirical equation

P ∝ 1/V => P = k(1/V) => k = P·V => for comparing two different case conditions, k₁ = k₂ => P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Given

P₁ = 1.6 atm

V₁ = 312 ml

P₂ = ?

V₂ = 500 ml

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂ => P₂ = P₁V₁/V₂ =1.6 atm x 312 ml / 500ml = 1.0 atm

ca has a crystalline lattice with positive ions (since it is a metal, metals are positively charged) and electrons flow freely in its structure since the ca atoms have a large nuclear radius so the electrons are not tightly held, therefore the electrons can flow freely since they are not being highly attracted by the nucleus. moreover, one of the properties of metals are that they are conductors of electricity, thus proving ca is the element.
