Question

A gas occupying 0.6 L at 1.70 atm expands to 0.9 L. What is the new pressure assuming temperature remains constant?

Answer 1

1.13 atm

Step-by-step explanation:

The new pressure can be found by using the formula

P1V1 = P2V2

P1 is the initial pressure

P2 is the final pressure

V1 is the initial volume

V2 is the final volume

Since we're finding the new pressure P2 we make P2 the subject

We have

`p_2 = (p1v1)/(v2) \\`

P1 = 1.7 atm

V1 = 0.6 L

V2 = 0.9 L

We have

`p_2 = (1.7 * 0.6)/(0.9) = 1.13333...\\`

We have the final answer as

1.13 atm

Hope this helps you
