950ml of a gas at pressure of 1.5atm is compressed to 473ml. what is the new pressure of the gas
Law: Boyle's Law
Answer with work:
P1*V1=P2*V2
950mL*1.5atm= 473mL*P2
P2= 3.01atm
and if its boyle or charles or lussac
To determine the new pressure of the gas, you can use Boyle's Law. Boyle's Law states that the product of the initial pressure and volume of a gas is equal to the product of the final pressure and volume when temperature is constant.
The equation for Boyle's Law is stated as:
P1 * V1 = P2 * V2
Where:
P1 = Initial pressure
V1 = Initial volume
P2 = Final pressure
V2 = Final volume
In this case, the initial pressure (P1) is 1.5 atm, the initial volume (V1) is 950 ml, the final volume (V2) is 473 ml, and we want to find the final pressure (P2).
Let's solve for P2 using the equation:
P1 * V1 = P2 * V2
1.5 atm * 950 ml = P2 * 473 ml
1425 atm * ml = P2 * 473 ml
Now we can cancel out the units ml on both sides:
1425 atm = P2 * 1
P2 = 1425 atm
Therefore, the new pressure of the gas is 1425 atm.
Assuming constant temp
P1V1 =P2V2
