A 2.5-m3 blob of oil is exposed to 6,230 Pa of pressure. When the pressure is reduced to 4,530 Pa, the oil blob will O reduce its volume by much more than 1 m3 increase its volume by much more than 1 m3 O increase its volume by much less than 1 m3 O not change its volume at all. O reduce its volume by much less than 1 m3 Note: answer options were changed from original version shown in the video. Previous Give Up & View Solution Check AnswerNextExt

Explanation / Answer

By Boyle’s law:

P1V1 = P2V2

=> V2 = P1V1/P2

= (6230*2.5)/4530

= 3.44 m3

Increase in volume = 3.44 – 2.5 = 0.94 m3

Thus the correct option is the 3rd option.
