Answer
Step-by-step solution
4 stepsIdentify the given values and the relevant gas law.
The problem describes a fixed mass of gas at a constant temperature, which means Boyle's Law applies.
Initial volume, .
The new pressure, , is of the original pressure, . So, .
We need to find the new volume, .State Boyle's Law.
Boyle's Law states that for a fixed mass of gas at constant temperature, the product of pressure and volume is constant:
Substitute the known values into the equation.
Solve for .
Divide both sides by :
Multiply both sides by 5:
The new volume is .
