Problem

In a system the temperature and mass are kept constant. The initial pressure of the system is \( 20 \mathrm{~atm} \) and the volume is \( 0.23 \mathrm{~L} \). If the pressure changes to 1.05 atm what is the volume?

Answer

\(3. \) Solve for \(V_2\): \(V_2 = \frac{20 \mathrm{~atm} \times 0.23 \mathrm{~L}}{1.05 \mathrm{~atm}} \approx 4.3810 \mathrm{~L} \)

Steps

Step 1 :\(1. \) Use Boyle's Law: \(P_1V_1 = P_2V_2\)

Step 2 :\(2. \) Substitute values: \(20 \mathrm{~atm} \times 0.23 \mathrm{~L} = 1.05 \mathrm{~atm} \times V_2\)

Step 3 :\(3. \) Solve for \(V_2\): \(V_2 = \frac{20 \mathrm{~atm} \times 0.23 \mathrm{~L}}{1.05 \mathrm{~atm}} \approx 4.3810 \mathrm{~L} \)
