Question

1.00 L of gas at a standard temperature and pressure is compressed to 473mL. What is the new pressure of the gas?

Answer 1

Answer:

The pressure of the gas is 2.11 atm.

Explanation:

From the given,

$V_{1}=1.00\,L$

$P_{1}=1\,atm$

$P_{2}=?$

$V_{2}=473\,ml=0.473\,L$

$P_{1}V_{1}=P_{2}V_{2}$

$(1)(1)=(0.473)(P_{2})$

$P_{2}=\frac{(1)(1)}{0.473}=2.11$

Therefore, The pressure of the gas is 2.11 atm.
