In a system the temperature and mass are kept constant. The initial pressure of the system is 6.27 mmHg. If the pressure changes to 2.8 mmHg when the volume changes to 0.765 L what was the original volume?
3. Substitute values: V1=(2.8 mmHg)(0.765 L)6.27 mmHg
Step 1 :1. Use Boyle's Law: P1V1=P2V2
Step 2 :2. Solve for V1: V1=P2V2P1
Step 3 :3. Substitute values: V1=(2.8 mmHg)(0.765 L)6.27 mmHg
