Answer:
The correct answer is option A.
Explanation:
Initial volume of the gas =[tex]V_1=3.5 L[/tex]
Final volume of the gas = [tex]V_2=?[/tex]
Initial pressure of the gas =[tex]P_1=0.8 atm[/tex]
Final volume of the gas = [tex]P_2=0.5 atm[/tex]
Using Boyle's law:
[tex]P_1V_1=P_2V_2[/tex]
[tex]0.8 atm \times 3.5 L=0.5 atm\times V_2[/tex]
[tex]V_2=5.6 L[/tex]
Hence,the correct answer is option A.
Answer : The correct option is, (A) 5.6 L
Explanation :
Boyle's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.
[tex]P\propto \frac{1}{V}[/tex]
or,
[tex]P_1V_1=P_2V_2[/tex]
where,
[tex]P_1[/tex] = initial pressure of gas = 0.8 atm
[tex]P_2[/tex] = final pressure of gas = 0.5 atm
[tex]V_1[/tex] = initial volume of gas = 3.5 L
[tex]V_2[/tex] = final volume of gas = ?
Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:
[tex]0.8atm\times 3.5L=0.5atm\times V_2[/tex]
[tex]V_2=5.6L[/tex]
Therefore, the final volume of the gas is 5.6 L.
