a gas has a volume of 6 liters and a pressure of 1.5 atm. if the container is compressed to a volume of 2 liters, what will the pressure of the gas be?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The pressure will be 4, 5 atm

Explanation:

We use Boyle Mariotte's formula: for a given mass of gas at constant temperature, the pressure and volume vary inversely proportionally:

P1xV1=P2xV2

P2= (P1xV1)/V2 = (1,5 atm x 6 L)/2 L=4,5 atm
