Question

A sample of carbon dioxide at 2.92 atm experiences a change in volume from 4225.6 mL to 2162.4 mL. What is the resulting pressure?

Answer 1

The resulting pressure is 5, 71 atm

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the Boyle´2 Mariotte formula:P1xV1=P2xV2 . We convert the unit of volume ml into L: 4225, 6/1000=4, 2256 L and 2162,4ml/1000= 2,1624

P1xV1=P2xV2---> P2=(P1xV1)/V2

P2= (2,92 atm x 4,2256 L)/2,1624 L=5, 71 atm
