If you have a gas that starts out with a pressure of 720 mm Hg and a volume of 1500mL, what is the new volume if you increase the pressure to 2 atm?
(Gas stoichiometry)

Respuesta :

 the new  volume   is  calculated by  use  of  Boyles  law   formula

that  is P1V1=p2v2

v2=  p1v1/p2

P1=  720  mmhg
v1=  1500ml
p2 =  2 atm  
V2=?
convert  P2  to  mmhg  =      2  x760=  1520  mmhg

V2=   720mmhg  x1500  ml/  1520mmhg  =  710.53  ml
