What would be the new pressure if 250cm^3 of gas at 760 mmHg is compressed to a volume of 150 cm^3

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is 1266.67 mmHg

Explanation:

In order to find the new pressure we use the formula for Boyle's law which is

[tex]P_1V_1 = P_2V_2[/tex]

where

P1 is the initial pressure

P2 is the final pressure

V1 is the initial volume

V2 is the final volume

Since we are finding the new pressure

[tex]P_2 = \frac{P_1V_1}{V_2} \\[/tex]

So we have

[tex]P_2 = \frac{760 \times 250}{150} = \frac{190000}{150} \\ = 1266.666666...[/tex]

We have the final answer as

1266.67 mmHg

Hope this helps you
