Dayana Newman · Answer 1

The volume will be 0.031 L

Explanation:

Since temperature is constant, Boyle's law is applied in this case.

Boyle's law States that at constant temperature, the volume of a given mass of a gas is inversely proportional to it's pressure.

From this statement it was deduced that P1V1 = P2V2

From the question, P1 = 1atm, V1 = 1.55L, P2 = 50 atm and V2 is to be calculated.

V2 = P1V1/P2

= 1*1.55:50

=0.031 L
