A capsule containing 0.500 l of air at 1.00 atm is compressed to 3.25 atm. at that point, what is the volume of the gas in the capsule?rnrnquestion 7 options:rnrn1.63 Lrnrnrn0.154 Lrnrnrn6.50 Lrnrnrn0.615 l
Accepted Answer
According to Boyle's law, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure. Mathematically, this can be expressed as P₁V₁ = P₂V₂, where P₁ and V₁ are the initial pressure and volume, and P₂ and V₂ are the final pressure and volume. Using this formula, we can calculate the volume of the gas in the capsule after compression:
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
1.00 atm * 0.500 L = 3.25 atm * V₂
V₂ = 0.154 L
Therefore, the volume of the gas in the capsule after compression is 0.154 L.
