Question

6. A sample of oxygen gas has a volume of 14.0 L with a pressureof 0.945 atm. If the volume of the gas is decreased to 10.0L,what is the pressure? 0.005 0.1

Answer 1

According to the explanation given in the previous session, we will have to use Boyle's gas Law again in this question, the formula:

P1V1 = P2V2

We have:

P1 = 0.945 atm

V1 = 14.0 L

P2 = ?

V2 = 10.0 L

Now we add these values into the formula:

0.945 * 14.0 = P2 * 10

13.23 = 10P2

P2 = 1.323 atm is the new pressure
