A smaple of gas occupies 10 m^3 at a pressure of 120kPa. if the volume of the sample is compressed to 3 m^3, what is the new pressure of the gas

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is 400 kPa

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 volume

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

From the question we have

[tex]P_2 = \frac{120000 \times 10}{3} = \frac{1200000}{3} \\ = 400000[/tex]

We have the final answer as

400 kPa

Hope this helps you
