A cylindrical gas chamber has a piston at one end that can be?

Question

used to compress or expand the gas. If the gas is initially at 992torr when the volume is 2.77 L, what will be the volume if the pressure is reduced to 501 torr?

Answer 1

This is a problem using Boyle's Law. This law gives the relationship between pressure and volume of an ideal gas IF temperature and amount are held constant. If the volume of a container is increased, the pressure decreases. If the volume of a container is decreased, the pressure increases.

So, mathematically PV=constant

Here, P1V1 = constant = PV

So: 992 * 2.77 = 501 * V

Solve for V = 5.48 L

Answer 2

Dude, its the same concept as with the other question you just asked. PV=PV
