Answer:
e. reducing the pressure from 608 torr to 0.40 atm at constant temperature.
Explanation:
According to Boyle's law when a gas is at the same temperature and there is a mass in a closed container so the pressure and the volume changes in the opposite direction
So here the equation is
[tex]P_1V_1=P_2V_2[/tex]
Now we choose the options
where,
[tex]V_1 = 100\ mL = 0.1\ L\\\\V_2 = 200\ mL = 0.2\ L[/tex]
[tex]P_1 = 608\ torr = 0.8\ atm \\\\P_2= 0.4\ atm[/tex]
Now applying these values to the above equation
So,
P1V1=P2V2
[tex]P_1V_1=P_2V_2[/tex]
[tex]0.8\times0.1 = 0.4\times0.2[/tex]
0.8 = 0.8
Hence, it is proved
