Asample of oxygen gas occupies 3.60 liters at a pressure of 1.00 atm. if the temperature is held constant, what will be the volume of the oxygen gas at a pressure of 2.50 atm?

0.694 l

1.44 l

4.35 l

9.20 l

= 1.44 L

Boyle's law states that the volume of a fixed mass of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure at a constant temperature.

Mathematically;

P α 1/V

PV =constant

Thus, P1V1 = P2V2

P1 = 1.00 atm, V1 = 3.60 liters, V2 = ?, P2 = 2.50 atm

V2 = P1V1/P2

    = (1× 3.6)/2.5

    = 1.44 L

every chemical equation adheres to the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. therefore, there must be the same number of atoms of each element on each side of a chemical equation.
