If 489 mL of carbon dioxide has a pressure of 2.75 atm. If the gas is compressed to 254 mL, what is the
new pressure?
A) 1.43 atm
B) 3.45 atm
C) 5.29 atm
D) 6.21 atm

Respuesta :

Answer:

5.29 atm

Explanation:

The new pressure can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

[tex]P_1V_1 = P_2V_2[/tex]

Since we are finding the new pressure

[tex]P_2 = \frac{P_1V_1}{V_2} \\[/tex]

From the question we have

[tex]P_2 = \frac{489 \times 2.75}{254} = \frac{1344.75}{254} \\ = 5.294291...[/tex]

We have the final answer as

5.29 atm

Hope this helps you
