Answer to Question #171264 in General Chemistry for Vidal Morquecho

Question

The volume of a gas is reduced from 16 l to 2L which the temperature is held constant how much does the gas pressure change.

Answer 1

P₁V_1. = P₂V₂

Change in pressure will give P₂

P₂ = (P₁V₁)/V₂

P₂ = (P₁16)/2 = P₁8

P₂ = 8P₁
