A. Let us first assume that the gas acts like an ideal
gas so that we can use the ideal gas equation:
PV = nRT
where P is pressure, V is volume, n is number of moles, R
is universal gas constant and T is absolute temperature
In this case, let us assume that nRT = constant so that:
P1V1 = P2V2
400 mm Hg * 400 mL = P2 * 200 mL
P2 = 800 mm Hg
<span>B. The collision of gas with the walls of the container
produces Pressure.</span>

now, we could check for the CA distance, however, we already know that AB ≠ BC, so there's no need.
The first one is 50 the second one is 1,500
The median is nine. All you need to do is cross one off from each side until you get to the midde. In this case, the answer is 9
Also, make sure you always put them in order
