Answer 1

Given :

If a certain gas occupies a volume of 12 LL when the applied pressure is 6.0 atm.

To Find :

The pressure when the gas occupies a volume of 3.0 LL .

Solution :

Since, their is no information of temperature, let us assume it is constant throughout the process.

We know, by ideal gas equation  at constant temperature :

$\alpha P_1V_1 = P_2V_2\\\\6 \times 12 = P_2 \times 3\\\\P_2 = 24\ atm$

Therefore, the pressure when the gas occupies a volume of 3.0 LL is 24 atm.
