Question

By which factor must the pressure be increased to compress 8 liters of nitrogen to 2.5 liter?

Answer 1

Given

• 8 liters of nitrogen is compressed to 2.5 liter.

To find

Factor by which pressure must be increased for the process.

Concept

We will use $P_1$ $V_1$ = $P_2$ $V_2$

Solution

Here, $V_1$ = 8 liter

$V_2$ = 2.5 liter

using the formula :- $P_1$ $V_1$ = $P_2$ $V_2$

=> $P_1$ × 8 = $P_2$ × 2.5

=> $P_1$ / $P_2$ = 3.2
