Activity 3 : SOLVING PROBLEM USING BOYLE’S LAW

Objective:

1. Solve problems using Boyle’s law

PROCEDURES:
Solve the problems below using Boyle’s law: P1VI=P2V2
Show complete solution.

a. A gas inside a 1.5 L gas tank has a pressure of 0.95 atm. Provided that the temperature
remains constant, how much pressure is needed to reduce its volume by ½?
Given:
P1 = 0.95 atm P2 = ?
V1 = 1.5L V2 =0.75 L / ½ of 1.5 L
Find: P2
Solution:
P1V1=P2V2
(0.95 atm) (1.5 L) = P2 (0.75 L)
1.425 = 0.75
0.75 = 0.75 P2 = 1.9 atm
Answer:
P2 = 1.9 atm

b. A scuba diver needs a diving tank in order to provide breathing gas while he is underwater.
How much pressure is needed for 6.00 liters of gas at 1.01 atmospheric pressure to be
compressed in a 3.00-liter cylinder?
Given:
P1 = 1.01 atm P2 = ?
V1 = 6.00 L of gas V2 = 3.00 L
Find: P2
Solution:
P1V1=P2V2
(1.01 atm) (6.00 L) = P2 (3.00 L)
6.06 = 3.00
3.00 3.00
P2 = 2.02 atm
Answer: P2 = 2.02 atm

c. A sample of fluorine gas occupies a volume of 500 mL at 760 torr. Given that the temperature
remains the same, calculate the pressure required to reduce its volume by 1/3.
Given:
P1 = 760 torr P2 = ?
V1 = 500 mL V2 = 1/3 of 500 mL or 166.7 mL
Find: P2
Solution:
P1V1=P2V2
(760 torr) (500 mL) = P2 (166.7 mL)
380,000 = 166.7
166.7 166.7
P2 = 2,279.54 torr
Answer:
P2 = 2,279.95 torr
