Question

pressure of gas confined in a cylinder of volume 10l is to 1atm what will be the volume if pressure increases by 50%?

please solve this question.....

Answer 1

P1V1=P2V2
10×1=1.5×V2
V2=20/3

Answer 2

Concept

Boyle's law is a gas law that states that the pressure emitted by a gas which is equal to the volume at which it resides.

Given

The Volume of Cylinder given is 10L

The pressure given is 1atm

Find

We need to find the volume of cylinder

Solution

According to Boyle's law

The Product of the first volume and Pressure

is equal to the second volume and pressure

Therefore

P1V1=P2V2

1*10= 1.5(V2)

Therefore V2 = 10*2/3

V2= 20/3

Hence the volume will be 6.6L if the pressure increases by 50%
