Question

3. Oxygen gas inside a 1.5 L gas tank has a pressure

of 0.95 atm. Provided that the temperature
remains constant, how much pressure is ne
eded to reduce its volume by 72?​

Answer 1

1.9 atm

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Boyle's law :

Pressure is inversely proportional to volume Given that temperature and mass remains constant.

Mathematically ;

P1V1 = P2V2

P1 = 0.95 ; V1 = 1.5L; P2 = ? ; V2 = 1.5 - (1/2*1.5) = 0.75 L

P1V1 = P2V2

0.95 * 1.5 = P2 * 0.75

1.425 = 0.75P2

P2 = 1.425 / 0.75

P2 = 1.9

P2 = 1.9 atm
