2.0atm | 3.0L | 8.0atm | ? |
Concept Introduction:
The concept of Boyle's law will be used. This is represented as-
Or,
Here, P is pressure and V is the volume of the gas.

Answer to Problem 7.51P
2.0atm | 3.0L | 8.0atm | 0.75L |
Explanation of Solution
According to Boyle's law, the pressure of the ideal gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the ideal gas at constant temperature. This is represented as
Or,
Or,
Given that −
P1, initial pressure = 2.0atm
V1, initial volume = 3.0L
P2, final pressure = 8.0atm
Put the above values in equation (1),
