if 240ml of O2 gas increases pressure from 0.40 atm to 0.80 atm what is the new volume? show all work
To find the new volume, we can use Boyle's Law, which states that the product of the initial pressure and volume must equal the product of the final pressure and volume.
Boyle's Law equation:
P1 * V1 = P2 * V2
Where:
P1 = Initial pressure (0.40 atm)
V1 = Initial volume (240 ml)
P2 = Final pressure (0.80 atm)
V2 = Final volume (unknown)
Rearranging the equation to solve for V2:
V2 = (P1 * V1) / P2
Now we can substitute the given values into the equation:
V2 = (0.40 atm * 240 ml) / 0.80 atm
V2 = 120 ml
Therefore, the new volume is 120 ml.
