A gas occupies 10.2 liters at 0.60 atm. What is the pressure if the volume becomes 3.0 L?
A. 13.8 atm
B. 2.04 atm
C. 51 atm
D. 3.56 atm

Respuesta :

Answer:

P₂ = 2.04 atm

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial volume, V₁ = 10.2 L

Initial pressure, P₁ = 0.6 atm

Final volume, V₂ = 3 L

We need to find the final pressure. The relation between the pressure and the volume is given by :

[tex]P_1V_1=P_2V_2\\\\P_2=\dfrac{P_1V_1}{V_2}\\\\P_2=\dfrac{10.2\times 0.6}{3}\\\\P_2=2.04\ atm[/tex]

So, the new pressure is equal to 2.04 atm.
