If a certain gas occupies a volume of 20 l when the applied pressure is 10 atm , find the pressure when the gas occupies a volume of 5.0 l .

Respuesta :

The  pressure   of  a  gas  which  occupies   a volume  of  5.0 L   is  calculated  using    P1V1=P2V2  formula

P1=10 atm
V1 =  20 L
V2=  5.0 l
P2 =?

P2  is therefore= P1V1/V2

P2=  10  atm x20 L/5.0l=  40atm
