At 5 atmosphere pressure, the volume of a gas is 1200 ml. What pressure is required to reduce
the volume of a gas to 2000 ml without changing the temperature?

Answer:

3 atm

Explanation:

The new pressure can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

[tex]P_1V_1 = P_2V_2[/tex]

Since we are finding the new pressure

[tex]P_2 = \frac{P_1V_1}{V_2} \\[/tex]

From the question we have

[tex]P_2 = \frac{5 \times 1200}{2000} = \frac{6000}{2000} = \frac{6}{2} = 3 \\ [/tex]

We have the final answer as

3 atm

Hope this helps you
