Explain how you can use Boyle's law to determine the new volume of a gas when it's pressure is increased from 270 kPa to 540 kPa? The original volume of gas was 1 l. Assume the temperature and number of particles are consistent. What is the new volume?

Answer 1

Did this yesterday. With 270 kPa being half of 540 kPa I got an answer of two and the teacher marked it correct

Answer 2

Huh?
You SQUEEZED the gas

P1V1 = P2 V2
V2 = (P1/P2) V1
1/2 not two

Answer 3

Thanks guys

Answer 4

You are welcome.
