  • Boyle's Law: Calculating Gas Volume at Different Pressures
    Here's how to solve this problem using Boyle's Law:

    Boyle's Law states that the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure, assuming constant temperature. Mathematically:

    P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

    Where:

    * P₁ = Initial pressure

    * V₁ = Initial volume

    * P₂ = Final pressure

    * V₂ = Final volume

    Given:

    * V₁ = 2.4 L

    * P₁ = 14.1 kPa

    * P₂ = 84.6 kPa

    To Find: V₂

    Solution:

    1. Plug the values into Boyle's Law equation:

    (14.1 kPa) * (2.4 L) = (84.6 kPa) * V₂

    2. Solve for V₂:

    V₂ = (14.1 kPa * 2.4 L) / 84.6 kPa

    V₂ ≈ 0.4 L

    Therefore, the gas will occupy approximately 0.4 L at a pressure of 84.6 kPa.
