Question

A certain gas occupies a volume of 26L when the applied pressure is 5.7atm. find the pressure in the system when the gas is compressed to a volume of 6.5L at a constant temperature

Answer 1

P1 = 5.7atm V1 = 26L
P2 = ? V2 = 6.5 L

By Boyles Law,
P1V1 = P2V2
5.7 × 26 = P2 × 6.5
By solving,
P2 = 22.8atm.
