Question

61.26 liters of gas at atmospheric pressure is compressed into a 0.281 L gas cylinder. What is the pressure (mm Hg) of the compressed gas if its temperature remains constant?

Answer 1

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

P1V1 = P2V2 Since T remains constant

P1V1/V2 = P2 Atmospheric pressure is 760 mm Hg

760 (61.26) / .281 = 165,685.4 mm Hg ( 218 ATM)
