A student investigates Boyle's law on a fixed amount of gas at constant temperature. She records pressure (atm) versus volume (L) for several trials.
What volume will the gas occupy at 8.0 atm?
- A
1.0 L
- Bcheck_circle
1.5 L
- C
3.0 L
- D
2.0 L
Explanation
PV = 12.0 L·atm (constant from data). At P = 8.0 atm, V = 12.0/8.0 = 1.5 L.
