A gas has a volume of 275 mL and a pressure of 3 atm. What is the new volume if the pressure decreases to 1.8 atm?

Use Boyles law.

Given:

P1=3atm

V1=275mL

P2=1.8atm

V2=?

P1V1=P2V2

3x275=1.8xV2

V2=3x275/1.8

V2=458.3mL

i need mutiple choices

the ideal gas law equation is as follows

pv = nrt

where p - pressure

v - volume

n - number of moles

r - universal gas constant

t - temperature

so if the pressure, volume and temperature are already known

we are left with n and r

since r is the universal gas constant that has a known fixed value then r too is known

so we are left with 'n'

once we know temperature volume and pressure

we can find the number of moles of gas present using the ideal gas law equation

this is not my own answer, this is an answer for the same question by the user blahblahmali. i do not claim ownership of this account.
