A given mass of air has a volume of 6L at 101 kPa. What volume will it occupy at 25 kPa if the temperature remains constant? CHEMISTRY HELP?
Ok so the equation for this type of problem is: P1 x V1 = P2 x V2. Thus, (P1 x V1) / P2 should give me V2, right? (P = pressure, thus making P1 and P2 the first pressure {101 kPa} and the second pressure {25 kPa}, and V = volume.) And so, when I do: (101 x 6) / 25 I get the answer of 24.24 L. BUT the law clearly states that the volume will DECREASE and not increase. So, what am I doing wrong?
