Question

If 1.00 L of gas at 1.00 atm of pressure is compressed to a volume of 0.473 L, what is the new pressure of the gas?

Which gas law formula should you use to solve this problem?

-Avogadro’s Law
-Boyle’s Law
-Charles’ Law

Answer 1

2.114 atm

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is just pressure and volume, use Boyle's Law

P1V1 = P2V2

Then plug in numbers

(1 atm)(1 L) = P2(.473 L)

P2 = 2.114 atm
