A certain gas is present in a 13.0 l cylinder at 4.0 atm pressure. if the pressure is increased to 8.0 atm, the volume of the gas decreases to 6.5 l. find the two constants ki, the initial value of k, and kf, the final value of k, to verify whether the gas obeys boyle's law. express your answers to two significant figures separated by a comma.

Marcus Fitzgerald · Answer 1

Boyle's Law is k = PV so Initial k = 13.0 L x 4.0 atm = 52 L atm Final kf = 6.5 L x 8 atm = 52 L atm The gas obeys Boyle's Law The answer with two significant figures separated by a comma is k = 52, kf = 52.
