A container of hydrogen at 172 kPa was decreased to 85.0 kPa producing a new volume of 3L. What was the original volume?

Explanation:

In order to find the original volume we use the same for Boyle's law which is

where

P1 is the initial pressure

P2 is the final pressure

V1 is the initial volume

V2 is the final volume

Since we are finding the original volume

From the question

P1 = 172 kPa = 172000 Pa

P2 = 85 kPa = 85000 Pa

V2 = 3 L

We have

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

um i think it might be a car?
