Option C) 2.0L is the correct answer.
Hence, at the same temperature, as the pressure is increased to the given value, the volume of the gas decreases to 2.0L.
Boyle's law
Boyle's law states that "the volume V of a given quantity of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure P as long as temperature remains constant.
Boyle's law is expressed as;
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
Given the data in the question;
- Initial pressure P₁ = 6.0atm
- Final pressure P₂ = 7.5atm
To determine the final volume of the gas, we substitute our given values into the expression above.
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
V₂ = P₁V₁ / P₂
V₂ = ( 6.0atm × 2.5L ) / 7.5atm
V₂ = 15Latm / 7.5atm
V₂ = 2.0L
Option C) 2.0L is the correct answer.
Hence, at the same temperature, as the pressure is increased to the given value, the volume of the gas decreases to 2.0L.
