Question 6
Gas LawsThe ratio of the initial to the final pressure of a given mass of gas is 1:1.5. Calculate the final volume of the gas if the initial volume was 300 cm3 at the same temperature.
- A.120 cm3
- B.200 cm3
- C.450 cm3
- D.750 cm3
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: B (200 cm3)
Explanation
Boyle's law: P1V1 = P2V2, so 1 × 300 = 1.5 × V2 and V2 = 200 cm3.
