Given a constant temperature, if a gas has a volume of 10 L at a pressure of 10 atm, what would be the volume of the gas at 20 atm? Show all of your work.

Answer:

The answer is 5 L

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]

where

P1 is the initial pressure

P2 is the final pressure

V1 is the initial volume

V2 is the final volume

Since we are finding the new volume

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

So we have

[tex]V_2 = \frac{10 \times 10}{20} = \frac{100}{20} = \frac{10}{2} \\ [/tex]

We have the final answer as

5 L

Hope this helps you
