The volume occupied by a sample of gas is 480 mL when the pressure is 115 kPa. What pressure must be applied to the gas to make its volume become 650 mL? (P2= P1V1/V2)

The answer is

Explanation:

Using Boyle's law to find the final pressure

That's

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 final pressure

From the question

P1 = 115 kPa

V1 = 480 mL

V2 = 650 ml

So we have

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
