    Boyle’s Law - Solutions 1) If I have 5.6 liters of gas in a piston at a pressure of 1.5 atm and compress the gas until its volume is 4.8 L‚ what will the new pressure inside the piston be? P1V1 = P2V2 (1.5 atm)(5.6 L) = (x)(4.8 L) x = 1.8 atm 2) I have added 15 L of air to a balloon at sea level (1.0 atm). If I take the balloon with me to Denver‚ where the air pressure is 0.85 atm‚ what will the new volume of the balloon be? P1V1 = P2V2 (1.0 atm)(15 L) = (0.85 atm)(x) x = 18
