A fixed amount of gas at 25.0°C occupies a volume of 10.0 L when the pressure is 667 torr. Use Boyle's law to calculate the pressure (torr)when the volume is reduced to 7.88 L at a constant temperature of 25.0°C. A)846 B)0.118 C)5.26 × 10⁴ D)526 E)1.11

Question

Boyle's Law states that P1V1 = P2V2 for a constant temperature. Using the given values: (667 torr)(10.0 L) = (P2)(7.88 L), solving for P2 gives approximately 846 torr.
