Question

At 6 atmosphere pressure, the volume of a gas is 1200 ml. What pressure is

required to reduce the volume of a gas to 200 ml without changing the
temperature?

Answer 1

36 atm

Step-by-step explanation:

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

`P_1V_1 = P_2V_2`

Since we are finding the required pressure

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

From the question we have

`P_2 = (6 * 1200)/(200) = (7200)/(200) = (72)/(2) \\`

We have the final answer as

36 atm

Hope this helps you
