Question

at a pressure 44 kpa the gas in a cylinder has a volume of 29 liters assuming temperature remains the same,if the volume of the gas is decreased to 4liters what is the new pressure?kpa

Answer 1

Assuming the gas is ideal, the ideal gas law can be used. To make things simpler, Boyle's law can also be used because it denotes the inverse relationship between pressure and volume at constant temperature. The solution to be used is as follows

P1V1 = P2V2
(44)(29) = P2(4)
P2 = 319 KPa
