Answer:
0.52 L.
Explanation:
Let P be the initial pressure.
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Initial pressure (P1) = P
Initial volume (V1) = 1.04 L
Final pressure (P2) = double the initial pressure = 2P
Final volume (V2) =?
The new volume (V2) of the gas can be obtained by using the the Boyle's law equation as shown below:
P1V1 = P2V2
P × 1.04 = 2P × V2
1.04P = 2P × V2
Divide both side by 2P
V2 = 1.04P /2P
V2 = 0.52 L
Thus, the new volume of the gas is 0.52 L.
