1

Explain Boyle's Law in your own words and describe the relationship between pressure and volume of a gas.

2

A gas has an initial pressure of 30 psi and occupies a volume of 5 L. If the volume is decreased to 2 L, what will be the new pressure? Show your calculations.

Quick comprehension check

A gas has an initial pressure of 60 kPa and occupies a volume of 8.0 L. If the volume is decreased to 4.0 L, what will be the new pressure? Show your calculations. A gas occupies a volume of 20.0 L at a pressure of 2.0 atm. If the volume is compressed to 10.0 L, what is the new pressure? Provide your answer with calculations.
