Question

At a certain temperature, a certain mass of gas occupies a volume of 5dm3when the pressure

is 540mm of Hg. Calculate the pressure in atmosphere when the volume is reduces to 1.5

dm3

at the same temperature​

Answer 1

Answer:

180 mmHg

Explanation:

P1V1 =P2V2. (Boyle's law)

P1=540 mmHg. P2=?

V1= 5dm V2=1.5

therefore ,

540 * 5 = 1.5 * P2

=180 mmHg
