Answer:
P₂ = [tex]\frac{P_{1} V_{1} }{V_{2} }[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given expression:
Boyle's law:
P₁ V₁ = P₂ V₂
Problem is to find P₂;
Solution:
P₁ V₁ = P₂ V₂
To solve this problem, multiply both sides by [tex]\frac{1}{V_{2} }[/tex];
P₁ V₁ x [tex]\frac{1}{V_{2} }[/tex]; = P₂ V₂ x [tex]\frac{1}{V_{2} }[/tex];
[tex]\frac{1}{V_{2} }[/tex] cancels out V₂ on the right hand side;
P₂ = [tex]\frac{P_{1} V_{1} }{V_{2} }[/tex]
