Boyle's Law says that the volume of a gas varies inversely with the pressure. When the volume of a certain gas is

4 L
, the pressure is
350 kPa
(kilopascals). What is the volume when the pressure is
140 kPa
?

1 answer

We can use Boyle's Law, which is given by:

P1V1 = P2V2

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

Plugging in the given values, we get:

350 kPa x 4 L = 140 kPa x V2

Solving for V2, we get:

V2 = (350 kPa x 4 L) / 140 kPa

V2 = 10 L

Therefore, the volume when the pressure is 140 kPa is 10 L.
