A sample of oxygen gas has a volume of 150 mL with a pressure of 0.947 atm. What will the volume be if pressure is increased to 770 torr?
Select one:
a. 158 mL
b. 141 mL
c. 100 mL
d. 0.18 mL

I'm unsure how you solve this problem, but I would be forever thankful if someone would be willing to help me.

Thanks in advance. :)

Someone asked the exact same question yesterday...

First of all, you want your pressure units to be consistent. Either convert 0.947 atm to torr or vice versa.

0.947 atm=719.72 torr

now use boyle's law

v1p1=v2pw

(150ml)(719.72 torr)=(770 torr)(v2)

solve for v2

Thanks, bruh. @dtan5457

My chemistry class has a study guide that's really hard to understand, so maybe it was somebody from there?

lol, not sure, it doesn't really matter though. Are you able to finish this question?
