Answer:
V₂ = 123.6 L
Explanation:
According to Boyle's law pressure and volume of a gas are inversely related if amount and temperature are kept constant. For the initial and final states the gas law is given as,
P₁ V₁ = P₂ V₂ ----- (1)
Data Given;
P₁ = 103 kPa
V₁ = 30 L
P₂ = 25 kPa
V₂ = ?
Solution:
Solving equation 1 for V₂,
V₂ = P₁ V₁ / P₂
Putting values,
V₂ = (103 kPa × 30 L) ÷ 25 kPa
V₂ = 123.6 L
Result:
As the pressure is decreased from 103 kPa to 25 kPa, therefore, volume has increased from 30 L to 123.6 L.
