Let's assume the volume of the box was 2.00 L when we started and the initial pressure of the gas was 3.58 atm. If we decreased the volume to 1.40 L, what would be the new pressure of the gas (assuming the temperature and moles of gas remained constant)? Show your work and don't forget units.

Instructions
Click on the link for the gas laws simulation in the Chapter 8 "Lab" Assignment on
Canvas or copy/paste this link: https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/gases-
intro/latest/gases-intro en.html
You will see two boxes: "Intro" on the left and "Laws" on the right. Click on the "Laws"
box. Play around with the simulation to see what everything does. Hint: move the
pump up and down to get some gas particles into the box to start.
Activity 1: Pressure and Volume (Boyle's Law)
Click the yellow button in the bottom right corner of the simulation to reset the
simulation. Pump some blue gas molecules into the box.
Record the Pressure of the gas:
Now grab the handle on the left side of the box (with your mouse) and pull it to the right.
What happened to the pressure of the gas when you decreased the volume?
atm
New Pressure:
atm
When you decreased the size of the box (volume), how did this affect the frequency with
which the gas molecules are colliding with the container walls?
Let's assume the volume of the box was 2.00L when we started and the initial pressure
