  1. How do you answer a Boyle's Law question? For example:

    A syringe contains a gas at a pressure of 100kPa at a volume of 20cm3.
    The syringe is now squeezed in so that the new volume is 10cm3.
    What is the pressure of the gas now?

    1. 100X20=2000

      Because P1V1=P2V2 are equal you have to find somwthing that you can multiply by 10 to get 2000.

      2000/10=200KPa
