I've got a car with an internal volume 15,500 L. If I drive my car into the river and it implodes, what will be the volume of the gas when pressure goes from 1.5 atm to 2.3 atm?

The answer to your question is V2 = 10109 l

Explanation:

Data

Volume 1 = 15500 l

Pressure 1 = 1.5 atm

Volume 2 = ?

Pressure 2 = 2.3 atm

Process

To solve this problem use Boyle's law, substitute the values and simplify to get the result.

                  P1V1 = P2V2

-Solve for V2

                  V2 = P1V1 / P2

-Substitution

                  V2 = (15500 x 1.5) / 2.3

-Simplification

                  V2 = 23250 / 2.3

-Result

                  V2 = 10109 l
