3. A sample of carbon dioxide occupies a volume of 3.50 L at 1.20 atm. What pressure would the gas exert if the volume were decreased to 2.00 L?

Respuesta :

Answer:

2.1 atm

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 pressure

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

From the question we have

[tex]P_2 = \frac{3.5 \times1.2 }{2} = \frac{4.2}{2} \\ [/tex]

We have the final answer as

2.1 atm

Hope this helps you
