At 1.75 atm, a sample of gas takes up 3.78L. If the pressure in the gas is increased to 2.25 atm, what will the new volume be?

Respuesta :

Answer:

volume = 2.917 L

Explanation:

We will use Boyle's law, P1V1 = P2V2, to solve this.

P1 = 1.75 atm

V1 = 3.78 L

P2 = 2.25 atm

V2 = ?

P1V1 = P2V2

1.75*3.75 = 2.25 * V2

6.5625 = 2.25 * V2

V2 = 2.917 L
