Asample of argon gas has a volume of 500 ml at a pressure of 1.5 atm. if the pressure is increased to 4.0 atm, the new volume is given by

187.5 mL

Explanation:

From the question we are given;

Initial volume of the gas, V₁ = 500 mLInitial pressure of the gas, P₁ = 1.5 atmNew pressure of the gas, P₂ = 4.0 atm

We are required to determine the new volume of the gas;

We are going to use Boyle's law of gases.

According to Boyle's law, the volume of a fixed mass of a gas and pressure are inversely proportional at a constant absolute temperature.That is;

At different pressures and volume with constant temperature, then

Rearranging the formula;

Thus;

   

Thus, the new volume of the gas is 187.5 mL

Sorry i dont understand the question can you rephase it?

It idk haha what are we doing?
