Question

A gas occupies a volume of 2.4 L at 14.1 kPa. What volume will the gas occupy at 84.6 kPa?

Answer 1

Under `1/2*L`.

Explanation:

Given constant temperature, `P_1V_1=P_2V_2`.

And thus `V_2` `=` `(P_1V_1)/P_2` `=` `(14.1*kPaxx2.4*L)/(84.6*kPa)` `=` `??*L`

The volume has reduced reasonably, because the pressure has increased almost tenfold.
