Answer to Question #137140 in General Chemistry for Sehaj

Question

If you have 2.9 L of gas at standard pressure and temperature, what will be the pressure of the gas be if you decrease the volume to 2.4 L and kept standard pressure?

Answer 1

As Pressure inversely proportional to Volume.

P₁/P₂= V₂/V₁

at STP (pressure = 1 bar, temperature = 273 K)

1/P₂=2.4/2.9

P₂= 1.208 bar
