The pressure of a gas in a cylinder with a movable piston is increased from 45 kPa to 90 kPa. If the

temperature is held constant, and the initial volume of the gas in the cylinder is 0.5 m^3, what is the final
volume of the gas?

a. 2 m^3
b. 1 m^3
c. 0.5 m^3
d. 0.25 m^3
e. 0.125 m^3

1 answer

p1V1 =p2V2
V2=p1V1/p2
d. 0.25 m^3
