A container with a volume 2.0 l is filled with a gas at a pressure of 1.5 atm. by decreasing the volume of the container to 1.0 l, what is the resulting pressure? type in your answer using the correct number of significant figures. remember to use the formula for boyle's law: p1v1 = p2v2 atm

Answer:

3.0 atm

Explanation:

got it right on edge after guessing 2 times

The resulting pressure of the gas after decreasing the initial volume is 3 atm.

What is Boyle's Law?

According to the Boyle's Law at constant temperature, pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas:

P ∝ 1/V

For the given question required equation is:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂, where

P₁ = initial pressure = 1.5 atm

V₁ = initial volume = 2 L

P₂ = final pressure = ?

V₂ = final volume = 1 L

On putting all these values on the above equation, we get

P₂ = (1.5)(2) / (1) = 3atm

Hence required pressure is 3 atm.
