the pressure of a sample of helium in a 100 mL container is 0.1 Atm. If the helium is compressed to a volume of 5 mL without changing the temperature, what would be the pressure of the gas?

2 atmospheres when you compress a gas to a smaller volume the pressure rises its inversely proportional. Ideal gas law helps with this PV=Nrt.
