Summary Introduction
To determine: The new volume of a container whose pressure has been changed from 60mm Hg to 150 mm Hg.
Introduction: Pressure is defined as the force that is exerted perpendicularly on an object. The scientists named Robert Boyle gave a direct relationship between pressure and volume.
