Fill in what you know and leave the unknown box empty — it works out whichever one is missing. Nothing is uploaded; the arithmetic happens in your browser.

Final volume = 5 L

The formula

Temperature held constant. Squeeze the volume and the pressure rises in proportion.

Worked example

Double the pressure and 10 L becomes 5 L.

Those numbers are already in the boxes above — press Work it out to see it, then change them for your own.
