Answer: the new pressure is 486.5 kpa
Explanation:
We would apply Boyles law which states that the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure when the temperature of the gas is held constant.
It is expressed as
P1V1 = P2V2
Where
P1 represents initial pressure of the gas.
V1 = initial volume of the gas
P2 = final pressure of the gas
V2 = final volume of the gas
The gas is the air that is being compressed by the syringe. From the information given,
P1 = 97.3 kPa.
V1 = 15 mL
V2 = 3.0 mL
P2 = ?
Therefore,
97.3 × 15 = 3 × P2
1459.5 = 3P2
P2 = 1459.5/3
P2 = 486.5 kpa
Answer:
Explanation:
room pressure p1 = 97.3 kPa
initial volume of air v1 = 15 mL
the air was compressed to a new volume of 3.0mL
using Boyle's law
p1v1 = p2v2
97300 × 15 mL = p2 × 3.0 mL
p2 = 1459500 / 3 = 486500 Pa = 486.5 KPa
