Question

5 litres of nitrogen measured at 1 bar pressure have to be compressed into a cylinder of 1 litre capacity.if the temperature is kept constant calculate the pressure required to do so

Answer 1

Answer:

P2 = 1

Explanation :

According to the question :

P1 = 1 bar

V1 = 5 litres

P2 = ?

V2 = 1 litre

If the temperature is same or kept constant , then we use the Boyle's Law .

P1 × V1 = P2 × V2

1 × 5 = 5 × P2

5 ÷ 5 = P2

1 = P2
