Question

5. A gas has a pressure of 1.26 atm and occupies a volume of 7.40 L. If the gas

compressed to a volume of 2.93 L, what will its pressure?

Answer 1

0.499atm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is

P1/V1 = P2/V2

so:

1.26atm/7.40L = P2/2.93L

then:

(1.26atm/7.40L)*2.93L = P2

= 0.4988918911atm
