A balloon contains 1.1 L of gas at a pressure of 0.80 atm. How will the volume change if the pressure is increased to 2.0 atm?

Final volume  = 0.44 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume of balloon = 1.1 L

Initial pressure = 0.80 atm

Final volume = ?

Final pressure = 2.0 atm

Solution:

The given problem will be solved through the Boly's law,

"The volume of given amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure by keeping the temperature and number of moles constant"

Mathematical expression:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = initial volume

P₂ = final pressure

V₂ = final volume  

Now we will put the values in formula,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

0.80 atm × 1.1 L = 2.0 atm × V₂

V₂ = 0.88 atm. L/ 2.0 atm

V₂ = 0.44 L

why do the isotopes of a particular element behave differently in nuclear reactions but the same in chemical reactions? chemical reactions involve changes to electrons in an atom; isotopes do not differ in electrons, and so they react the same way during chemical changes.
