An ideal gas is kept in a 10-liter [L] container at a pressure of 2.5 atmospheres [atm] and a temperature of 310 kelvin [K]. If the gas is compressed until its pressure is raised to 5 atmospheres [atm] while holding the temperature constant, what is the new volume in units of liters [L]?

5 L.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial volume (V1) = 10 L

Initial pressure (P1) = 2.5 atm

Final pressure (P2) = 5 atm

Final volume (V2) =.?

Since the temperature is constant, we shall apply the Boyle's law equation to determine the new volume of the gas. This can be obtained as follow:

P1V1 = P2V2

2.5 × 10 = 5 × V2

25 = 5 × V2

Divide both side by 5

V2 =25/5

V2 = 5 L

Thus, the new volume of the gas is 5 L
