Asked by Sandy

A 5.0 L sample of nitrogen gas has a pressure of 95 kpa. What is the final volume of the gas if the pressure is tripled?
I know p1 = 95, v1=5.0 and p2 = tripled

What i don't understand is what number is tripled, is it 95 times 3??
Answered by Damon
P1 V1 = P2 V2
P2 = 3 P1

P1 V1 = 3 P1 V2

so
V2 = V1/3 = 5/3 liters

Damon showed you how to work the problem a short way. The answer to your question is yes, it is 3*95 = ?
