Question

Consider a piston with a volume of 5.3 L containing an ideal gas subjected to 0.26 atm of pressure. If the pressure is increased to 2.5 atm while keeping the temperature constant, what will the volume of the piston become? State your answer in L (without units).

00:01 Here in this problem given, consider a piston with a volume 5 .3 liters containing an ideal gas subjected to 0 .26 atm pressure.
00:11 That is when the pressure is 0 .26 .8m, the volume of the gas is 5 .3 liters.
00:20 Now, the pressure is increased to 2 .5 a .m.
00:26 Now we have to calculate the volume of the piston at constant temperature.
00:36 Since the temperature is constant, we can use boils law.
00:44 And according to boils law, we can write p1 v1 is equal to p2, v2 at constant temperature.
00:57 Now, p1, that is the initial pressure, v1 initial volume, p2 final pressure, v2 final volume.
01:06 Here we have to calculate v2...
