Answer:
40 atm.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Initial volume (V₁) = 200 mL
Initial pressure (P₁) = 2 atm
Final volume (V₂) = 10 mL
Temperature = constant
Final pressure (P₂) =?
The final pressure of the gas can be obtained by using the Boyle's law equation as shown below:
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
2 × 200 = P₂ × 10
400 = P₂ × 10
Divide both side by 10
P₂ = 400 / 10
P₂ = 40 atm
Thus, the final pressure of the gas is 40 atm.
