5.0 liters of a gas are at an initial pressure of 5.0 atmospheres. If the temperature and amount of a gas are kept constant, what is the new volume of the gas when pressure is increased to 7.0 atmospheres?

Respuesta :

Answer:

7 L.

Explanation:

Given,

V₁ =5 L

P₁ = 5 atm

P₂ = 7 atm

V₂ = ?

where temperature and amount of gas is constant

Using relation between pressure and volume

[tex]\dfrac{P_1}{V_2}=\dfrac{P_2}{V_1}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{5}{5}=\dfrac{7}{V_2}[/tex]

[tex]V_2 = 7\ L[/tex]

Hence, volume equal to 7 L.
