Asked by Bob

At constant temperature, the pressure of a sample of gas is inversely proportional to its volume. I have some oxygen in a 2.28 liter container with a pressure of 5 kPa. If I move all of it to a 5.7 liter container at the same temperature, what will the new pressure be in kPa?

Use Boyle's law (P1V1 = P2V2). So P2 = P1·V1/V2 = 5 kPa · (2.28 L / 5.7 L) = 5 · 0.4 = 2 kPa.
