Question

20 cubic inches of a gas with an absolute pressure of 5 psi is compressed until its pressure reaches 10 psi. What is the new of volume of the gas?

Answer 1

Approx. `0.164*L`

Explanation:

Boyle's Law states that `P_1V_1=P_2V_2`. (Temperature and amount of gas constant)

Thus `V_2=(P_1V_1)/P_2` `=` `(5*"psi"xx20*"inch"^3)/(10*"psi")` `=` `??"inch"^3`.
