Answer:
Pressure = 0.5 atm
Explanation:
Data;
V1 = 5.0L
P1 = 1.0atm
P2 = ?
V2 = 10L
From Boyle's law, the volume of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure provided that temperature remains constant.
Mathematically,
V = k / P
k = V1 * P1 = V2 * P2 = V3 * P3 =.........= Vn * Pn
P1 * V1 = P2 * V2
(1.0 * 5.0) = (P2 * 10)
5 = 10P2
P2 = 5 / 10
P2 = 0.5atm
The new pressure of the gas is 0.5atm
