If 1.00 L of gas at 1.00 atm of pressure is compressed to a volume of 0.473 L, what is the new pressure of the gas?

Answer 1

Boyle's Law problem...

P1 V1 = P2 V2

1 x 1 = P2 x 0.473

1 = P2 x 0.473

1 / 0.473 = P2

2.11 = P2

Answer: The new pressure of the gas is 2.11 atm.

Answer has three significant figures as this is required for the problem.
