A balloon with a volume of 1 L is filled with a gas that has a pressure of 4 Pa. What is the new

pressure of the gas if the balloon is squeezed down to a volume of. 6 L? (Boyle's Law, pg. 79) SHOW WORK

P₂ = 6.67 Pa

Explanation:

Given dа ta:

Initial volume = 1L

Initial pressure = 4 Pa

Final pressure = ?

Final volume = 0.6 L

Solution:

P₁V₁ = P₂ V₂

V₁ = Initial volume

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₂ = Final volume

P₂ = Final pressure

Now we will put the values in formula.

P₁V₁ = P₂ V₂

P₂ = P₁V₁ / V₂

P₂ = 4 Pa * 1 L / 0.6 L

P₂ = 6.67 Pa
