When a gas is kept at a constant temperature and pressure on it changes, its volume changes according to the following formula,

known as Boyle’s law
where P1 and V1 are the pressure (in atm) and the volume (in litres) at the beginning, and P2 and V2 are the pressure and the volume at the end. Find the final pressure P2 if V1 = 1.5 litres, P1 = 4.5 atm and V2 = 3.5 litres. Round to the nearest tenth of a atm.

Answer:  Approximately 1.9 atm

============================================

Work Shown:

P_1*V_1 = P_2*V_2 \ \text{ ... Boyle's Law}\\\\4.5*1.5 = P_2*3.5\\\\6.75 = P_2*3.5\\\\P_2*3.5 = 6.75\\\\P_2 = \frac{6.75}{3.5}\\\\P_2 \approx 1.92857142857142\\\\P_2 \approx 1.9\\\\

If the volume is 3.5 liters, then the pressure is approximately 1.9 atm.

Note the increase in volume leads to the reduction of pressure, and vice versa. The two variables have an inverse relationship.

-----------

As a check,

P_1*V_1 = P_2*V_2\\\\4.5*1.5 \approx 1.9*3.5\\\\6.75 \approx 6.65\\\\

We don't get the exact thing on both sides, but the two sides are close enough. We have rounding error due to P2 being not exact.

A more accurate check could be

P_1*V_1 = P_2*V_2\\\\4.5*1.5 \approx 1.92857*3.5\\\\6.75 \approx 6.749995\\\\

which has the two sides much closer to one another. This helps us verify the answer.

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

0.22

Step-by-step explanation:

22x + 11 = 4x - 7

22x - 4x = -7 + 11

18x = 4

x = 4/18

x = 0.22

What is the length of the arc on the unit circle subtended by an angle of 120 degrees? Show all work.
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
Let us have a denote the measure of the missing arc length.
Since all circles measures 360°, it is then understood that all circles have an angle of 2π .

   arc length     =  <span>central angle
</span>         2π              circumference    
 
substitute values:
 <u>     a      </u> = <span><u>  120° </u>
</span>     2π          360°
multiply them by 2π and cancel out 2π so you will have
          a  = <u> 24 </u> π<u>
</u>                   36
Simplify 24/36 π--2/3π. Thus, the answer to this item is the third option.
