calculate the new pressure if a 2.45L of a gas at a pressure of 1.01 atm is contracted to a volume of 2.29L

Question

Best to use Boyle's gas law

Answer 1

PV = const because nRT is const or Boyles Law. It should be stated in the problem that T is constant.

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₂ = P₁(V₁/V₂) Plug into this equation. 1 is the case that you know fully and 2 is the case that you want to know the pressure.
