Question

If a gas has a pressure of 325 kPa. What will the new pressure be if the volume is decreased from 2.41 L to 1.67 L at constant temperature?​

Answer 1

The answer is 469 kPa

Step-by-step explanation:

The new pressure can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

`P_1V_1 = P_2V_2`

Since we are finding the new pressure

`P_2 = (P_1V_1)/(V_2) \\`

So we have

`P_2 = (325000 * 2.41)/(1.67) = (783250)/(1.67) \\ = 469011.97...`

We have the final answer as

469 kPa
