Answer:
1.8 L
Explanation:
Given data:
Initial volume of gas = 4.2 L
Initial pressure of gas = 101 kpa
Final volume of gas = ?
Final pressure of gas = 235 kpa
Solution:
The given problem will be solved through the Boly's law,
"The volume of given amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure by keeping the temperature and number of moles constant"
Mathematical expression:
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
P₁ = Initial pressure
V₁ = initial volume
P₂ = final pressure
V₂ = final volume
Now we will put the values in formula,
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
101 kpa × 4.2 L = 235 kpa × V₂
V₂ = 424.2 kpa . L/ 235 kpa
V₂ = 1.8 L
So when pressure is increased the volume of gas becomes 1,8 L.
