Question

Friend's Prove That
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Set up the problem by setting up the known and unknown variables. In this case, the initial pressure is 20 atm (P1), the initial volume is 1 L (V1), and the new volume is 1L + 12 L = 13 L (V2), since the two containers are connected. The new pressure (P2) remains unknown.

P1V1 = P2V2

(20 atm)(1 L) = (P2)(13 L).

20 atom = (13) P2.

P2 = 1.54 atm.

The final pressure of the gas is 1.54 atm.
