Answer:The new volume is 5mL
Explanation:
The formular for Boyles Law is; P1 V1 = P2 V2
Where P1 = 1st Pressure V1 = First Volume
P2 = 2nd Pressure V2 = Second Volume
From the question; P1 = 5atm, V1 = 10ml
P2 = 2 x P1 (2 x 5) = 10 atm V2 =?
Using the Boyles Law Formular; P1 V1 = P2 V2, we make V2 the subject of formular; P1 V1/ P2 = V2
∴ 5 x 10/ 10 = 5
∴ V2 = 5mL
Answer:
The initial volume has been halved to 5 mL
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Initial pressure = 5.0 atm
Initial volume = 10 mL = 0.010 L
The pressure is doubled to 10.0 atm
Step 2: Calculate the new volume
P1*V1 = P2*V2
⇒with P1 = the initial pressure of the gas = 5.0 atm
⇒with V1 = the initial volume of the gas = 10 mL = 0.010 L
⇒with P2 = the new pressure = 10.0 atm
⇒with V2 = the new volume = TO BE DETERMINED
5.0 atm * 0.010 L = 10.0 atm * V2
V2 = 0.005 L = 5 mL
Initial volume / final volume = 10 mL / 5 mL = 2
The initial volume has been halved to 5 mL
