Question

A gas sample initially has a pressure of 2atm and a volume of 58L. If the other gas parameters are kept constant, and the volume is adjusted to 4L, what is the new pressure in atm?

 

Answer 1

The equation you use is (V1 x P1 / T1) = (V2 x P2 / T2). All you have to do is plug in your numbers and solve for P2.

(2 x 58 ) = (P2 x 4)

This should leave you with 29 atm.
