If the pressure of a 2.00 L sample of gas is 50.0 kPa, what pressure does the gas exert if its volume is decreased to 20.0 mL?

Which equation should you use?

Sagot :

Answer:

Which equation should you use?

B. P₁V₁=P₂V₂

What is the new pressure?  

✔ 5000  kPa

__________________________________________________________

Explanation:

The problem gives initial volume (2.00 L), final volume (20.0 mL), and initial pressure (50.0 kPa). Then it asks to find the final pressure. Answer B has all these variables, with P₁=initial pressure, P₂=final pressure, V₁=initial volume, and V₂=final volume. Plug the given values into the equation and then solve for the unknown value, which is P₂, final pressure.

When plugging in the values, use consistent units. 2L=2000 mL, I chose to make the consistent unit in mL. You'll get the same answer if you choose to use L as the consistent unit.

[tex]2000*50=20*P2[/tex]

[tex]100000=20*P2[/tex]

Divide both sides by 20

[tex]100000/20=(20*P2)/20[/tex]

[tex]5000=P2[/tex]
