Agas has a volume of 5.0 l at a pressure of 50 kpa. what happens to the volume when temperature is held constant and the pressure is increased to 125 kpa?

Volume will be 2L

Explanation:

The problem can be solved taking into account Boyle-Mariotte Law for ideal gases

. It states:

At constant temperature, the volume of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure it exerts.

Being P1 and V1 the values of Pressure an temperature in the gas initial state. And P2, V2, pressure and temperature of the gas in the final state.

The given values are:

So, we replace given values in the formula isolating V2:

So, the volume when pressure is increased to 125 kPa will be 2L.

out of these options:

ability to burn paper

pure sodium reacting violently with water

the boiling point of water

helium does not tend to react with anything

i would say this is a physical property:

helium does not tend to react with anything

why? :

i said helium does not tend to react with anything because well, it reacts to ! but ability to burn paper, pure sodium reacting violently with water, & the boiling point of water are chemical or

physical properties: the properties of a substance that can be observed without changing the chemical makeup of the substance

chemical properties: properties of a substance relating to the chemical nature and reactivity of the substance

false

because it does not have the potential to be entirely used up
