Question

The volume of a gas V held at a constant temperature in a closed container varies inversely with its pressure P. If the volume of a gas is 1500 cubic centimeters when the pressure is 450 mm Hg, find the volume when the pressure is 500 mm Hg.

Answer 1

Use Boyle's law
\[PV=constant\]
or, equivalently
\[P_1V_1 = P_2V_2\]

Answer 3

as @mathmate said use the equation P1V1 = P2V2, here P1 = 450 mmHg and V1 = 1500 ml & P2 = 500 mmHg

Answer 4

*1cc = 1ml

Answer 5

p1v1=p2v2 =>v2=p1v1/p2 =450*1500/500 = 450*3= 1350cc
