Question

At 5 atmosphere pressure, the volume of a gas is 1200 ml. What pressure is required to reduce

the volume of a gas to 2000 ml without changing the temperature?

Answer 1

3 atm

Step-by-step explanation:

The new pressure can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

`P_1V_1 = P_2V_2`

Since we are finding the new pressure

`P_2 = (P_1V_1)/(V_2) \\`

From the question we have

`P_2 = (5 * 1200)/(2000) = (6000)/(2000) = (6)/(2) = 3 \\`

We have the final answer as

3 atm

Hope this helps you
