A sample of gas at a constant temperature has an initial volume of 14.5L at a pressure of 720mmHg. If the volume of gas is decreased to 10.5L, what is its pressure?

The new pressure of the gas would be 994 mmHg

Gas law

According to Charle's law, the pressure of a gas at a constant temperature varies inversely with its volume.

Mathematically: p1v1 = p2v2, where p1 and p2 = initial and final pressure, and v1 and v2 = initial and final volume.

In this case, v1 = 14.5 L, p1 = 720 mmHg, and v2 = 10.5 L

p2 = p1v1/v2 = 720 x 14.5/10.5 = 994 mmHg
