Answer:
Pressure = 4313.43mmHg
Step-by-step explanation:
P1 = ?
V1 = 0.335L
V2 = 1700mL =1700*10^-3L = 1.7L
P2 = 850mmhg
From Boyle's law, the volume of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure provided that temperature remains constant.
P = k / v
K = pv. P1V1 = P2V2 = P3V3 =........=PnVn
P1V1 = P2V2
Solve for P1,
P1 = (P2*V2) / V1
P1 = (850 * 1.7) / 0.335
P1 = 4313.43mmHg
The pressure of the gas was 4313.43mmHg
