Answer:
0.39L
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Initial volume of gas V₁ = 2.6L
Initial pressure on gas P₁ = 1.6atm
Final volume of gas V₂ = ?
Final pressure on gas P₂ = 10.6atm
Solution
Applying Boyle's law which states that "the volume of a fixed mass of a gas varies inversely as the pressure changes if the temperature is constant".
Mathematically;
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
V₂ = [tex]\frac{P_{1}V_{1} }{P_{2} }[/tex]
V₂ = [tex]\frac{1.6 x 2.6 }{10.6 }[/tex] = 0.39L
