Question

What pressure is required to compress 156.0 liters of air at 2.00 atmosphere into a cylinder

whose volume is 36.0 liters?
A)8.67 L
B)8.67 atm
C)2808 L
D)2808 atm

Answer 1

option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

V₁ = 156 L

P₁ =2 atm

Now, in the cylinder

P₂ = ?

V₂ = 36

Using relation between pressure and volume

`(P_1)/(V_2)=(P_2)/(V_1)`

`(2)/(36)=(P_2)/(156)`

`P_2 = 8.67\ atm`

Hence, pressure is equal to 8.67 atm.

Hence, the correct answer is option B.
