Question

at -11°c a sample of carbon monoxide gas exerts a pressure of 0.37 atm. What is the pressure when the volume of the gas is reduced to one third or the original value at the same temperature?​

Answer 1

Answer: The pressure will be 1.11atm

Explanation:

V1 = V

P1 = 0.37 atm

V2 = (1/3)V

P2 =?

P1V1 = P2V2

0.37 x V = P2 x (1/3)V

P2 = (0.37 x V) / (1/3)V

P2 = 0.37 x 3 = 1.11atm
