Question
At a constant temperature a gas occupies a volume of 200 ml at a pressure of 0.720 bar. It is subjected to an external pressure of 0.900 bar. What is the resulting volume of the gas?
Answer: A
π‘ Solution & Explanation
According to Boyle's law (constant temperature): P1 * V1 = P2 * V2. Given: P1 = 0.720 bar, V1 = 200 ml, P2 = 0.900 bar. V2 = (P1 * V1) / P2 = (0.720 * 200) / 0.900 = 160 ml.
