Question

Given a `180*mL` volume of gas at `0.740*"bar"`, how does its volume evolve at `1.025*"bar"`?

Answer 1

Well, we use old Boyle's law....`PV=k`...given that temperature AND amount of gas is CONSTANT....

Explanation:

And so we solve for `k` under different conditions...

`P_1V_1=P_2V_2`

`V_2=(P_1V_1)/P_2=(0.740*"bar"xx180*mL)/(1.025*"bar")=??*mL`...

Is the reduction in volume reasonable given the pressure change? Why or why not?
