Agas has a pressure of 1.00 atm and a volume of 500 ml. when its pressure is doubled, at constant temperature, to 2.00 atm, its volume halves to 250 ml, following boyle's law. however, when its pressure is increased 1000 times, at constant temperature, to 1000 atm, the volume decreases to 2 ml which is more than 1/1000 of 500 ml. what is the reason why boyle's law is not obeyed when the pressure is increased to 1000 atm?

The reason why Boyle's is not obeyed is because the size of the gaseous molecules is more appreciable compared to the volume of the container containing the gas.

Explanation: At such high pressure of 1000atm , there will be high amount of gaseous molecules in terms of numbers and the volume of the gas will not be able to be decreased as if the gaseous molecules were dimensionless. The piston of the container containing the gas will not be able to pushed down much because the molecules will require an appreciable space.

while cooking a piece of 1/2 pound beef steak, a cast iron pan (2.4kg in weight) was heated 260 celsius.

the formula mass of a molecule or a compound is the sum of the atomic weights of the atoms in its empirical formula

(that's what i know about formula mass)
