A gas at a pressure of 2.00 atm is contained in a closed container. Indicate the changes in its volume when the pressure undergoes the following changes at constant temperature. (Assume that the volume of the container changes with the volume of the gas.)
Part A The pressure increases to 8.50 atm . Give your answer as a factor. Vo is the original volume of the gas (container).
V1 =

P1 = 2 atm P2 = 8.5atm
V1 = V0 V2 =
P1V1 = P2V2
V2 = P1V1/P2
= 2*V0/8.5
= 0.235V0
