A gas has a pressure of 1.42 atm and occupies a volume of 7.7 L. If the gas is compressed to a volume of 1.76 L, what will its pressure be, assuming constant temperature? Answer in units of atm.

Answer 1

Constant temperature = Boyle's Law

P1V1 = P2V2

(1.42 atm)(7.7 L) = (P2)(1.76 L)

P2 = 6.21 atm
