10.0 litters of gas at standard temperature and pressure is compressed to 1.5 liters. What is the new pressure of the gas?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

Well, standard pressure just means 1 atm. The temperature and the moles of the gas will not change. The things that change in this problem are the pressure and volume. Since you already know the volumes, you can solve this problem using Boyle's law:

P1V1 = P2V2

P1 = 1 atm

V1 = 1L x 1000mL/1L = 1000mL

P2 = ?

V2 = 473 mL.

Rearrange the equation for what you want to get, P2:

P2 = P1V1 / V2

P2 = 1 atm x 1000mL / 473mL

P2 = 2.11atm
