A sample of gas at a pressure of 3.0 atm was compressed from 6.00 L to 3.00 L at constant temperature.

Question

After the compression, what will the pressure of the gas be? 

 

 

Answer 1

A sample of gas at a pressure of 3.0 atm was compressed from 6.00 L to 3.00 L at constant temperature.

 

PV = nRT, so p1v1 = p2v2

 

3.0 atm(6.00L) = x(3.00L)

 

I am sure you can solve for x by yourself.
