1.44 liters of gas at 0.935 atm are compressed to 0.275 l. Find the new pressure in atm.
assuming the gas is ideal, we can use the formula:
P1*V1 = P2*V2
where
P1 = initial pressure
V1 = initial volume
P2 = final pressure
V2 = final volume
substituting:
(0.935)(1.44) = (P2)(0.275)
P2 = 4.896 atm
hope this helps~ :)
To find the new pressure in atm after the compression, you can use Boyle's Law, which states that the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional, assuming temperature and amount of gas remain constant.
Boyle's Law equation: P1V1 = P2V2
where P1 is the initial pressure, V1 is the initial volume, P2 is the final pressure, and V2 is the final volume.
Given:
P1 = 0.935 atm (initial pressure)
V1 = 1.44 L (initial volume)
V2 = 0.275 L (final volume)
Let's plug in the values into the equation and solve for P2:
P1V1 = P2V2
(0.935 atm)(1.44 L) = P2(0.275 L)
Now, we can solve for P2:
P2 = (0.935 atm * 1.44 L) / 0.275 L
Calculating this expression will give us the new pressure, P2, in atm.
