Agas that exerts a pressure of 15.6 psi in a container with the volume of l will exert a pressure of 24.43 psi when transferred to a container with a volume of 1.895 l.

The initial volume of the container = 2.97 L

Explanation:

Given:

Initial pressure of gas, P1 = 15.6 psi

Final pressure of gas, P2 = 24.43 psi

Final volume, V2 = 1.895 L

To determine:

The initial volume V1 occupied by the gas

Explanation:

Based on the ideal gas equation

where P = pressure, V = volume ; n = moles of gas

R = gas constant, T = temperature

At constant n and T, the above equation becomes:

PV = constant

This is the Boyle's law
