Question #120150

A sample of carbon dioxide occupies a volume of 3.50 liters at 125 kPa pressure>
What pressure would the gas exert if the volume was decreased to 2.00 liters?

Expert's answer

According to the combined ideal gas equation:

p1V1 = p2V2

where p1 - initial pressure, V1 - initial volume, p2 - final pressure, V2 - final volume.

From here:

p2 = p1V1 / V2 = 125 kPa × 3.50 L / 2.00 L = 219 kPa


Answer: 219 kPa
