At 28°C,a gas cylinder containing hydrogen has an internal volume and pressure of 46.6 L and 1.50 × 10² atm.The gas is allowed to escape the cylinder and expand until its pressure reaches 1.00 atmosphere.If the temperature of the gas remains constant,what volume will the gas occupy?

Using Boyle's Law (P1V1 = P2V2), where P1 = 150 atm, V1 = 46.6 L, and P2 = 1 atm, we solve for V2: V2 = (P1V1)/P2 = (150 atm * 46.6 L) / 1 atm = 6.99 × 10^3 L.
