Answer to Question #116130 in General Chemistry for Chelse Bell

Question

To compress nitrogen at 95.0 kPa from 750 mL to 500 mL, what must the new
pressure be if the temperature is kept constant?

Answer 1

P1V1 = P2V2 From Boyal's Law

Here P1= 95.0 kPa

V1 = 750 ml

V2 = 500 ml

P2 = (P1V1)/ V2

= ( 95×750)/ 500

= 142.5 kPa
