Question

A sample of gas at 2.50 atm and 6.50 L is compressed to 1.50L at a constant temperature. What is the new pressure?

Answer 1

final pressure would be p2 = 10.833 atm

Step-by-step explanation:

If the gas has constant temperature then pressure×volume = constant.

let the initial pressure and volume be p1, v1

and final pressure and volume be p2, v2.

therefore
`p1* v1=p2* v2`

`2.5* 6.5 = p2* 1.5`

therefore final pressure would be p2 = 10.833 atm
