Answer 1

Answer: The new pressure of the gas at this volume is 10 atm.

Explanation:

Given: $V_{1}$ = 250 mL,        $P_{1}$ = 1.00 atm

$V_{2}$ = 25.0 mL,          $P_{2}$ = ?

According to Boyle's law, at constant temperature the pressure of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to volume.

Therefore, formula used is as follows.

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

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

$P_{1}V_{1} = P_{2}V_{2}\\1.00 atm \times 250.0 mL = P_{2} \times 25.0 mL\\P_{2} = 10 atm$

Thus, we can conclude that the new pressure of the gas at this volume is 10 atm.
