If I have 18 liters of gas at a pressure of 88 atm, the final pressure of the gas if the volume of the gas is decreased to 12 liters under constant pressure is 132atm.
HOW TO CALCULATE PRESSURE?
The pressure of gas at constant temperature can be calculated using Boyle's law equation as follows:
P1V1 = P2V2
Where;
- P1 = initial pressure (88atm)
- P2 = final pressure (?atm)
- V1 = initial volume (18L)
- V2 = final volume (12L)
The final pressure of the gas can be calculated as follows:
88 × 18 = 12 × P2
1584 = 12P2
P2 = 1584 ÷ 12
P2 = 132atm
Therefore, have 18 liters of gas at a pressure of 88 atm, the final pressure of the gas if the volume of the gas is decreased to 12 liters under constant pressure is 132atm.
