Question

At 27°C a sample of ammonia gas exerts a pressure of 5.3 atm. What is the pressure in the volume of the gas is reduced to one tenth of the original volume at the same temperature? ​

Answer 1

The pressure in the volume of the gas is reduced to one tenth of the original volume at the same temperature is 53 atm.

Explanation:

Boyle's Law: This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

$P\propto \frac{1}{V}$     (At constant temperature and number of moles)

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2$  

where,

$P_1$ = initial pressure of gas  = 5.3 atm

$P_2$ = final pressure of gas  = ?

$V_1$ = initial volume of gas  = v

$V_2$ = final volume of gas  = $\frac{v}{10}$

$5.3\times v=P_2\times \frac{v}{10}$  

$P_2=53atm$
