A sample of CO2 gas has a volume of 2.7 L at 78.5 kPa. At what pressure would this sample of gas have a volume of 4.0L? Temperature is constant

52.99 kPa

Explanation:

Initial volume V1 = 2.7 L

Initial Pressure P1 = 78.5 kPa

Final Volume V2 = 4.0L

Final Pressure P2 = ?

Temperature is constant

The relationship between these quantities is given by the mathematical expression of Boyles law. This is given as;

V1P1 = V2P2

P2 = V1P1 / V2

P2 = 2.7 * 78.5 /  4.0

P2 = 52.99 kPa
