1. air components change from place to place, while water will just stay the same
2. Water doesn't have nor show individual properties, but air does show that it has it's own property
3. You can separate different gases from air physically, but with water you must pass electricity through it.
Don't take my word for it, this is just what I learned back in middle school.
Answer:
4380 mmHg
Explanation:
Boyle's Law can be used to explain the relationship between pressure and volume of an ideal gas. The pressure is inversely related to volume, so if volume decrease the pressure will increase. It can be expressed in the equation as:
P1V1=P2V2
In this question, the first condition is 2L volume and 876 mmHg pressure. Then the system changed into the second condition where the volume is 400ml and the pressure is unknown. The pressure will be:
P1V1= P2V2
876 mmHg * 2L = P2 * 400ml /(1000ml/L)
P2= 876 mmHg * 2L / 0.4L
P2= 4380 mmHg
