Answer:</h3>
Gas law : Boyle's law
New pressure: 66.24 atm
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
Concept tested: Gas laws (Boyle's law)
<u>We are given,</u>
- Initial pressure, P₁ = 2.86 atm
- Initial volume, V₁ = 8472 mL
- New volume, V₂ IS 365.8 mL
We need to determine the new pressure, P₂
- According to Boyle's law , the volume of a fixed mass of a gas and the pressure are inversely proportional at constant temperature.
- That is,

- This means , PV = k (constant)
- Therefore; P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
- Rearranging the formula, we can get the new pressure, P₂
P₂ = P₁V₁ ÷ V₂
= (2.86 atm × 8472 mL) ÷ 365.8 mL
= 66.24 atm
Therefore, the new pressure is 66.24 atm
When sunlight hits the moon's surface, the temperature can reach 260 degrees Fahrenheit (127 degrees Celsius). When the sun goes down, temperatures can dip to minus 280 F (minus 173 C).
