Boyle’s Law – Exercise 1
A fixed amount of a gas occupies a volume of 1L and exerts a pressure of 400 kPa on the walls of its
container. What would be the pressure exerted by the gas if it is completely transferred into a new
container having a volume of 3 liters (assuming the temperature and quantity of gas remains constant)?
02
Boyle’s Law – Exercise 1
A fixed amount of a gas occupies a volume of 1L and exerts a pressure of 400 kPa on the walls of its
container. What would be the pressure exerted by the gas if it is completely transferred into a new
container having a volume of 3 liters (assuming the temperature and quantity of gas remains constant)?
