Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A gas has an initial volume of 500 mL at a pressure of 1.5 atm. If its volume is reduced to 250 mL, what is its new pressure?
💡 Hint: Apply Boyle’s Law formula to find the new pressure.
A balloon filled with gas has a volume of 2.0 L at a pressure of 1.0 atm. If the balloon is taken underwater where the pressure is 3.0 atm, what will its new volume be assuming temperature remains constant?
💡 Hint: Remember, as pressure increases, the volume decreases.
