Question

A. A balloon with a volume of 1L is filled with a gas that has a pressure of 4 Pa. What is the new pressure of the gas if the balloon is squeezed down to a volume of .6L?

(Step by Step explanation)​

Answer 1

P₂ = 6.7 Pa

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 1L

Initial pressure = 4 Pa

Final pressure = ?

Final volume = 0.6 L

Solution;

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = Initial volume

P₂ = Final pressure

V₂ = Final volume

Now we will put the values in formula:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₂ = P₁V₁ /V₂

P₂ = 4Pa × 1L/ 0.6 L

P₂ = 6.7 Pa
