Answer:
133.3atm
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Initial volume = 400ft³
Final volume = 3ft³
Initial pressure = 1atm
Unknown:
Final pressure = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we apply Boyle's law which states that "the volume of a fixed mass of a gas varies inversely as the pressure changes if the temperature is constant".
Mathematically;
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
P and V are pressure and volume
1 and 2 are initial and final states;
Insert parameters and solve;
1 x 400 = P₂ x 3
P₂ = 133.3atm
