A gas is at a pressure of 97.0 kPa and has a volume of 0.4 L If the pressure increased to 178 kPa, what will be the new volume? (Temp is constant)
Equation: P1V1 = P2V2
1.36 L
0.73 L
0.22 L
431 L

V₂ ≈ 0.22 L

PressureBoyle's Law: P₁V₁ = P₂V₂Explanation:

Step 1: Define

[Given] P₁ = 97.0 kPa

[Given] V₁ = 0.4 L

[Given] P₂ = 178 kPa

[Solve] V₂

Step 2: Solve for V₂

Substitute in variables [Boyle's Law]:                                                              (97.0 kPa)(0.4 L) = (178 kPa)V₂[Boyle's Law] Multiply:                                                                                      38.8 kPa · L = (178 kPa)V₂[Boyle's Law] [Division Property of Equality] Isolate V₂ [Cancel units]:         0.217978 L = V₂[Boyle's Law] [Volume] Rewrite:                                                                      V₂ = 0.217978 L[Boyle's Law] [Volume] Round:                                                                        V₂ ≈ 0.22 L

Woah that’s a lot to read xd i’ll try though. i’ll get back t you if. i know the andwer
