Nitrogen gas has a volume of 10.00L when under a

pressure of 1000. mmHg. If the temperature stays constant calculate

the new volume if the pressure drops to 500.mmHg.

THE NEW VOLUME OF THE NITROGEN GAS AT 500 mmHg IS 20 L

Explanation:

We will solve the question by using the Boyle's law equation;

P1V1 = P2V2

Write out the values of the variables involved in the question

P1 = 1000 mmHg

V1 = 10 L

P2 = 500 mmHg

V2 = ?

Substitute the values into the equation, we have;

V2 = PIV1 / P2

V2 = 1000 * 10 / 500

V2 = 10000 /500

V2 = 20 L

The new volume of the nitrogen gas at a pressure of 500 mmHg is 20 L.
