During a laboratory experiment, a gas is collected in a sealed syringe. Initially, the gas has a volume of 5.0 litres and a pressure of 1.0 atmosphere.
- Calculate the new pressure inside the syringe when the volume is decreased to 3.0 litres, assuming no temperature change. (2 marks)
--- 4 WORK AREA LINES (style=lined) ---
- After reaching the pressure calculated in part a, the volume is further decreased so that the pressure inside the syringe doubles. Calculate the final volume of the gas. (2 marks)

- Discuss two potential experimental errors that could affect the accuracy of the observed results compared to the theoretical predictions of Boyle's Law. (2 marks)
