Question

find the new pressure if the volume is decreased by 40% at a constant temperature the gas is at pressure 1080mm of hg

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

V1 = V

V2 = V 40/100% of V

            60/100 of V= 0.6 V

Now,

P1V1 = P2V2

1080 x V = P2 x 0.6 V

P2 = 1080/0.6 x 10

     = 1800 x 10

     = 18000 M
