Working

  1. 1P₂ = (1.5 × 4) ÷ 2.5 = 2.4 atm

Quick answer

At constant temperature, gas pressure and volume are inversely proportional, so P₁V₁ = P₂V₂.

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Frequently asked questions

Does temperature matter?

Boyle's law assumes it is constant; otherwise use the combined gas law.

Is it exact?

It is an ideal-gas approximation — real gases deviate at high pressure.
