Answer:
Final pressure of the air inside is 0.83atm
Step-by-step explanation:
Boyle's law is the gas law that relates the change in volume when pressure change at constant temperature and vice versa. The equation is:
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
Where P is pressure and V is volume of 1, initial state and 2, final state of the gas
Replacing:
P₁ = 0.5atm
V₁ = 2.5L
P₂ = ?
V₂ = 1.5L
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
0.5atm*2.5L = P₂*1.5L
0.83atm = P₂
Final pressure of the air inside is 0.83atm
