Question

The plunger on a bicycle pump with a 400 mL volume cylinder is

depressed such that the pressure in the pump increases from 1.00 atm to
6.00 atm. If the hose from the pump is plugged, what will be the volume
of the air inside the pump? *

This is a required question

Answer 1

The answer to your question is V2 = 66.7 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Volume 1 = V1 = 400 ml

Pressure 1 = P1 = 1 atm

Volume 2 = V2 = ?

Pressure 2 = P2 = 6 atm

Process

1.- To solve this problem use Boyle's law

P1V1 = P2V2

-solve for V2

V2 = P1V1 / P2

-Substitution

V2 = (1)(400) / 6

-Simplification

V2 = 400 / 6

-Result

V2 = 66.7 ml
