4. A soda can has a volume of 0.35 liters and before opened its internal pressure is 30 psi. What
volume will the gas expand to when opened (assume latm).

The volume of the gas expansion is 0.71 liters.

Boyle's law

Boyle's law states that the volume of a given mass of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure provided that temperature remains constant.

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

where;

  • P₁ = 30 psi
  • V₁ = 0.35 liters
  • P₂ = 1 atm = 14.7 psi

The volume of the gas expansion is calculated as follows;

[tex]V_2 = \frac{P_1 V_1}{P_2} \\\\V_2 = \frac{30 \times 0.35}{14.7} \\\\V_2 = 0.71 \ Liters[/tex]
