A sample of gas has an initial volume of 13.9 L at a pressure of 1.22 atm. If the sample is compressed to a volume of 10.3 L, what is its pressure

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is 1.65 atm

Explanation:

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

[tex]P_1V_1 = P_2V_2[/tex]

Since we are finding the new pressure

[tex]P_2 = \frac{P_1V_1}{V_2} \\[/tex]

From the question we have

[tex]P_2 = \frac{13.9 \times 1.22}{10.3} = \frac{16.958}{10.3} \\ = 1.64640776...[/tex]

We have the final answer as

1.65 atm

Hope this helps you
