A liter of gas has a pressure of 200 kPa. If the gas is put into 2-L container, what will be its pressure, assuming its
temperature does not change?

100kPa

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial volume of gas  = 1L

Pressure  = 200kPa

Final volume  = 2L

Unknown:

Final pressure  =  

Solution:

According to Boyles's law "the volume of fixed mass of gas of a gas varies inversely as the pressure changes if temperature is constant".

  Mathematically;

            P₁V₁  = P₂V₂

P and V are volume and pressure

1 and 2 are initial and final states

  Insert the parameters and solve;

            200 x 1  = P₂ x 2

                 P₂  = 100kPa
