2.0 L of nitrogen gas at 480 torr is compressed into a 0.50 L container. What is the new pressure of the nitrogen gas?

  • P1=480torr=0.63atm
  • V1=2L
  • V2=0.5L
  • P_2=?


\\ \sf\longmapsto P_1V_1=P_2V_2


\\ \sf\longmapsto 0.63(2)=0.5P_2


\\ \sf\longmapsto 1.26=0.5P_2


\\ \sf\longmapsto P_2=1.26/0.5


\\ \sf\longmapsto P_2=2.52atm
