A sample of neon gas has a volume of 5.0 mL at a pressure of 1.50 atm. What is the pressure exerted by the gas if the volume is increased to 30.0 mL,at constant temperature?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pressure exerted by the gas decreases when the volume increases at constant temperature, according to Boyle's Law (P1V1 = P2V2). Solving for P2 gives P2 = (P1V1)/V2 = (1.50 atm * 5.0 mL) / 30.0 mL = 0.25 atm.
