Question

During an experiment, 575 mL of neon gas at 101 kPa were compressed in a cylinder to a volume of 144 mL.

What was the new pressure of the gas, if the temperature remained constant?

Answer 1

403.3 kPa is the new pressure

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is solved by this formula:

P₁ . V₁ = P₂ . V₂

101kPa . 575 mL = P₂ . 144mL

(101kPa . 575 mL) / 144 mL = P₂

403.3 kPa = P₂
