A basketball has a volume of 4.5 liters at 136.5 kPa how many liters would it be at 140.1 kPa

V₂ = 4.38 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume of ball = 4.5 L

Initial pressure = 136.5 Kpa

Final volume = ?

Final pressure = 140.1 Kpa

Solution:

The given problem will be solved through the Boly's law,

"The volume of given amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure by keeping the temperature and number of moles constant"

Mathematical expression:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = initial volume

P₂ = final pressure

V₂ = final volume  

Now we will put the values in formula,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

136.5 Kpa × 4.5 L = 140.1 Kpa × V₂

V₂ = 614.25 Kpa. L/140.1 Kpa

V₂ = 4.38 L
