  • Boyle's Law: Calculating Pressure Change During Expansion
    Using Boyle's Law: P1V1 = P2V2

    where P1 and V1 are the initial pressure and volume and P2 and V2 are the final pressure and volume.

    P1V1 = P2V2

    (205 kPa)(4.00 L) = P2(12.0 L)

    P2 = (205 kPa)(4.00 L) / (12.0 L)

    P2 = 68.3 kPa

    Therefore, the pressure in the container if the temperature remains constant is 68.3 kPa.
