Question
561 dm3 of a gas at STP is filled in a 748 dm3 container. If the temperature is constant, calculate the percentage change in pressure required.

Solution
Initial volume = V1 = 561 dm3
Final volume = V2 = 748 dm3
Difference in volume = 748 - 561 = 187 dm3
As the temperature is constant,
Decrease in pressure percentage = `187/748 xx 100 = 25%`
