Answer: 37.6 atm
Explanation:
Given that,
Initial volume of gas (V1) = 19L
Initial pressure of gas (P1) = 9.5 atm
Final volume of gas (V2) = 4.8L
Final pressure of gas (P2) = ?
Since pressure and volume are given while temperature remains the same, apply the formula for Boyle's law
P1V1 = P2V2
9.5 atm x 19L = P2 x 4.8L
180.5 atm•L = 4.8L•P2
Divide both sides by 4.8L
180.5 atm•L/4.8L = 4.8L•P2/4.8L
37.6 atm = P2
Thus, the final pressure is 37.6 atmospheres.
