If I have 7.5 L of a gas in a piston at a pressure of 1.75 atm and compress the gas until its volume is 3.7 L, what will the new pressure inside the
piston be?​

Respuesta :

Answer:

3.55atm

Explanation:

We will apply Boyle's law formula in solving this problem.

P1V1 = P2V2

And with values given in the question

P1=initial pressure of gas = 1.75atm

V1=initial volume of gas =7.5L

P2=final pressure of gas inside new piston in atm

V2=final volume of gas = 3.7L

We need to find the final pressure

From the equation, P1V1 = P2V2,

We make P2 subject

P2 = (P1V1) / V2

P2 = (1.75×7.5)/3.7

P2=3.55atm

Therefore, the new pressure inside the piston is 3.55atm
