Given the volume of a gas at 200mL at 1.05atm pressure, calculate the volume of the same gas at 1.01atm. The temperature is held constant.

The new pressure will be  

1000 L

, rounded to one significant figure.

Explanation:

Boyle's law states that when a gas is held at a constant temperature and mass in a closed container, the volume and pressure vary inversely. The equation to use is

Explanation:

hydrocarbons are organic compounds that contain only hydrogens and carbons. they can be saturated (those which contain only carbon-carbon single bonds) or unsaturated (those which contain carbon-carbon double or triple bonds) in nature. hydrocarbons can undergo several reactions like substitution, elimination etc.  

on substituting one or more hydrogen atoms in hydrocarbon it results in the formation of haloalkane. as the halogen atoms are large compared to the carbon and hydrogen atoms, due to which the molecular weight increases and the bond become polar because of presence electronegative halogen atom and results in the increase in boiling point of the haloalkane.

thus, the correct option is (b) that is the boiling point of the new compound increases on substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon.
