If a gas occupies 2.40 L at a pressure of 4.4 atmospheres, what will its volume be at 8.8 atmospheres? a 5.2 L b 19.4 L c 1.2 L d 4.8 L

Answer 1

We can use Boyle's Law to solve this problem, which states that the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional at constant temperature.

According to Boyle's Law:
Pressure1 * Volume1 = Pressure2 * Volume2

Let's plug in the values we have:
4.4 atm * 2.40 L = 8.8 atm * Volume2

Now, we can solve for Volume2:
2.40 L = (4.4 atm * 2.40 L) / 8.8 atm
2.40 L = 1.20 L

Therefore, the volume of the gas at 8.8 atmospheres will be 1.2 L.

So the answer is c) 1.2 L
