Question

At 1.4 atm of pressure a gas has a volume of 111 ML at what pressure will the gas have a volume of 85 ML.

Answer 1

Answer:

The pressure will be 1, 83 atm

Explanation:

We use Boyle Mariotte's formula: for a given mass of gas at constant temperature, the pressure and volume vary inversely proportionally. We convert the unit ml into L: 111/1000= 0,111 L and 85/1000= 0,085 L.

P1xV1=P2xV2

P2= (P1xV1)/V2=(1,4 atm x 0,111L)/0,085L=1,83 atm
