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

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

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

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

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