The pressure exerted on a 2.5L sample of hydrogen gas at a constant temperature is increased from 0.428 atm to 0.724. What will the final Volume be

To solve this problem, use Boyle's Law, which states that the relationship between pressure and volume are inversely proportional.

Boyle's Law: P1 * V1 = P2 * V2

We are given the starting volume, and both pressures, so we can plug those numbers in.

(.428) * (2.5) = (.724) * (V2)

To solve for V2 first simplify:

1.07 = (.724) * V2

Then divide both sides by. 724 to leave V2 behind

V2 = 1.478 (Rounded to 3 decimal places)

So the final volume is 1.478L
