Question

Boyle's Law says that the volume of a gas varies inversely with the pressure. When the volume of a certain gas is 2 L, the pressure is 1065 kPa

(kilopascals). What is the pressure when the volume is 15 L ?

Answer 1

p1v1 = p2v2

Answer 2

To solve this problem, we can use Boyle's Law which states that the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure. Mathematically, this can be expressed as:

P1 * V1 = P2 * V2

where P1 and V1 represent the initial pressure and volume, and P2 and V2 represent the final pressure and volume.

In this case, we are given that when the volume is 2 L, the pressure is 1065 kPa. We can set up the equation as:

1065 kPa * 2 L = P2 * 15 L

Now we can solve for P2 by isolating it on one side of the equation.

1065 * 2 = P2 * 15

2130 = P2 * 15

P2 = 2130 / 15

P2 = 142 kPa

Therefore, when the volume is 15 L, the pressure is 142 kPa.
