Question

Type the correct answer in the box. express your answer to three significant figures. the gas inside a large engine cylinder initially has a pressure of 105 kilopascals and a volume of 2.031 liters. if the gas is compressed at constant temperature to a volume of 0.356 liter, what is its new pressure? the pressure of the compressed gas is kilopascals.

Answer 1

The new pressure of the gas would be 599.03 kilopascals

Boyle's laws

Boyles postulated that the pressure of any gas would be inversely proportional to its volume if the temperature of the gas remains unchanged.  

Mathematically: P1V1 = P2V2

In this case, P1 = 105 kilopascals, V1 = 2.031 liters, V2 = 0.356 liters.

P2 = P1V1/V2 = 105 x 2.031/0.356 = 599.03 kilopascals

Thus, the new pressure will be 599.03 kilopascals.
