Question

A given mass of oxygen at room temperature occupies a volume of 500. 0 ml at 1. 50 atm pressure. what pressure must be applied to compress the gas to a volume of only 150. 0 ml?

Answer 1

5 atm pressure must be applied to compress the gas to a volume of only 150.0 ml.

Given

Mass of oxygen at room temperature =500.0 ml

Volume of pressure = 50 atm pressure.

The gas to a volume = 150.0 ml

Explanation

The volume decreases by the factor = 500.0 mL / 150.0 mL

                                                             = 10 / 3

The pressure of the gas increased by a factor of 10/3 , which would make its final value equal to

$P_{final} = \frac{10}{3} * 1.50 atm$

          = 5.00 atm

So, 5 atm pressure must be applied to compress the gas to a volume of only 150.0 ml.
