what is the final volume of a gas with an initial volume of 200.0ml if the pressure decreases from 500.0 kpa to 250.0 kpa

Given dа ta:

V2?

V1 = 200 ml,

P1 = 500kpa and P2 = 2500kpa

From Boyels law (Ideal gas law) Where temperature remains constant, Pressure is inversely proportional to volume.

P1. V1 = P2. V2; T=Constant

V2 = (P1. V1) : P2

= (500*200) : (250)

= 400 ml

The final volume of the gas is 400 ml.

Note: Increased pressure decreases the volume or decreased pressure increase the volume as they are inversely proportional. Here in our answer pressure decreases from 500 kpa to 250 kpa so volume increases from 200 ml to 400 ml.
