Now, let's solve the problem using Boyle's Law:
A gas that exerts a pressure of 151 mm Hg in
a container with a volume of
L will
exert a pressure of 166 mm Hg when
transferred to a 0.532 L container.
P₁ = 151 mm Hg V₁ = [?]L
P2 = 166 mm Hg V₂ = 0.532 L
Assume that the number of moles and the temperature remain constant.
