1.0 liter of a gas at standard pressure and pressure is compressed to 473ml. What is the new pressure of the gas?

Respuesta :

If we assume that T does not change, then PV = k. 

If this is true, then P1V1 = P2V2 (Boyle's Law) 

P1 = 1 atm (standard pressure) 
V1 = 1 L 
P2 = ? 
V2 = .473L 

P2 = 2.11 atm
