Question

A 1.00 L sample of a gas at a pressure of 1.000atm is compressed to 0.25 L at a constanttemperature. What is the new pressure of the gas?

Answer 1

The answer is 4 atm

Step-by-step explanation:

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

`P_1V_1 = P_2V_2`

Since we are finding the new pressure

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

From the question we have

`P_2 = (1 * 1)/(0.25) = (1)/(0.25) \\`

We have the final answer as

4 atm

Hope this helps you
