Question

if a syringe has a gas with a volume of 1.0 ml and pressure of 3.0 atm, what will the pressure be if the volume is changed to 2.0 ml?

Answer 1

1.0 atm

Step-by-step explanation:

The combined gas law:

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

V1 = 1.0 ml

P1 = 3.0 atm

Neither T1 not T2 are specified. We'll assume they are the same (equal): T1 = T2.

We want P2: P2 = P1(V1/V2)(T2/T1)

P2 = (3.0 atm)*(1/0ml/3.0ml)(T1/T1)

P2 = 1.0 atm
