A 175 mL sample of neon had its pressure changed from 75kPa to 150kPa what is its new volume if temperature is held constant?

Answer 1

240

Assuming ideal gas behavior, doubling the pressure means reducing the volume by a factor of 2.

Answer 2

Using the ideal gas law (PV = nRT), since the temperature is constant, the relationship between pressure and volume is inversely proportional. Therefore, if the pressure doubles from 75kPa to 150kPa, the volume will halve. The new volume would be 87.5 mL.

Answer 3

100 atm
