Question

The pressure of a gas is suddenly raised to 8 times. Calculate how many times the volume of a gas will become¥=1.5

Answer 1

Answer:

The volume will become 0.04166 time of previous volume

Explanation:

We have given pressure

Let the volume of the gas is

Now pressure is increases to 8 times

So

From the ideal gas equation we know that

So the volume will become 0.04166 time of previous volume

P_2=8\times 1.5=12

From the ideal gas equation we know that P_1V_1=P_2V_2

1.5\times V_1=12\times V_2

V_2=0.04166V_1

So the volume will become 0.04166
