To solve the problem, we enumerate all the given first. Then the required and lastly the solution.
Given:
V1= 1.56x10^3 L = 1560 L P2 = 44.1 kPa
P1 = 98.9 kPa
Required: V2
Solution:
Assuming the gas is ideal. Ideal gas follows Boyle's Law which states that at a given temperature the product of pressure and volume of a gas is constant. In equation,
PV = k
Applying to the problem, we have
P1*V1 = P2*V2
(98.9 kPa)*(1560 L) = (44.1 kPa)*V2
V2 = 3498.5 L
ANSWER: V2 = 3498.5 L
