If #24 L# of a gas at room temperature exerts a pressure of #72 kPa# on its container, what pressure will the gas exert if the container's volume changes to #6 L#?
The new pressure is
Boyle's Law, which states that pressure and volume have an inverse relationship as long as temperature and mole count are constant, can be used to find the solution.

Using Boyle's Law, ( P_1V_1 = P_2V_2 ), where ( P_1 ) and ( V_1 ) are the initial pressure and volume, and ( P_2 ) and ( V_2 ) are the final pressure and volume:
( P_1 = 72 , \text{kPa} )
( V_1 = 24 , \text{L} )
( V_2 = 6 , \text{L} )
( P_2 = \frac{{P_1V_1}}{{V_2}} )
( P_2 = \frac{{72 , \text{kPa} \times 24 , \text{L}}}{{6 , \text{L}}} )
( P_2 = 288 , \text{kPa} )
So, the gas will exert a pressure of 288 kPa if the container's volume changes to 6 L.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
