A sample of ideal gas at room temperature occupies a volume of 27.0 L at a pressure of 242 torr . If the pressure changes to 1210 torr , with no change in the temperature or moles of gas, what is the new volume, V2 ? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Respuesta :

The New Volume is 5.4L

Boyle's law, also known as the Boyle-Mariotte law or Mariotte's law (particularly in France), is an experimental gas law that explains how a gas's pressure tends to drop as the capacity of the container increases.

A current formulation of Boyle's law is:

If the temperature and amount of gas remain constant in a closed system, the absolute pressure exerted by a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to the volume it occupies.

Boyle's law can be expressed mathematically as either PV = k or P 1/V (Pressure is inversely proportional to volume) (Pressure multiplied by volume equals some constant k)

P1V1 = P2V2

P1 = 242

V1 = 27

P2 = 1210

V2 = (242*27)/1210

V2 = 5.4L

Hence the New Volume V2 is 4.5L
