A 3.00 L sample of a gas at a pressure of 4.00 atm is compressed to 2.00 L at a constant temperature.What is the pressure of the gas?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Boyle's Law, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure when the temperature is constant. Mathematically, this can be expressed as P1V1 = P2V2.
So, using this formula, we get:
P1V1 = P2V2
(4.00 atm)(3.00 L) = P2(2.00 L)
P2 = (4.00 atm)(3.00 L) / (2.00 L)
P2 = 6.00 atm
Therefore, the answer is B) 6.00 atm.
