A gas occupies \(11.2 \mathrm{dm}^3\) at 105 kPa What is the volume if pressure is increased to 210 kPa ?

  1. A \(5.6 \mathrm{dm}^3\)
  2. B \(16.8 \mathrm{dm}^3\)
  3. C \(22.4 \mathrm{dm}^3\)
  4. D \(33.6 \mathrm{dm}^3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(5.6 \mathrm{dm}^3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to Boyle's law,
\(\mathrm{P}_1 \mathrm{~V}_1=\mathrm{P}_2 \mathrm{~V}_2\)
\(\therefore \mathrm{V}_2=\frac{\mathrm{P}_1 \mathrm{~V}_1}{\mathrm{P}_2}=\frac{105 \mathrm{kPa} \times 11.2 \mathrm{dm}^3}{210 \mathrm{kPa}}=5.6 \mathrm{dm}^3\)
