If a sample of CO gas at 1.977 atm has a volume of 517.4 mL and the pressure is changed to

3.063 atm, then what will be the new volume of the CO gas, in milliliters?

The answer to your question is V2 = 333.9 ml

Explanation:

Data

Pressure 1 = P1 = 1.977 atm

Volume 1 = V1 = 517.4 ml

Pressure 2 = P2 = 3.063 atm

Volume 2 = V2 = ?

Process

To solve this problem use Boyle's law

P1V1 = P2V2

-Solve for V2

V2 = P1V1/P2

-Substitution

V2 = (1.977 x 517.4) / 3.063

-Simplification

V2 = 1022.9 / 3.063

-Result

V2 = 333.9 ml
