The new pressure of the gas if the balloon is squeezed down to a volume of .6 L is 6.66 Pa
Explanation:
Given:
[tex]V_{1}[/tex]=1L
[tex]P_{1}[/tex]=4 Pa
[tex]V_{2}[/tex]=0.6 L
To find: [tex]P_{2}[/tex]
According to Boyles law, pressure and volume are inversely proportional. This relationship can be found only when the temperature and amount of gas remain constant.
The expression is given as, [tex]\bold{P_{1} \times V_{1}=P_{2} \times V_{2}}[/tex]
Substituting the values in the equation,
Now,
4 × 1 = [tex]P_{2}[/tex]×0.6
[tex]P_{2}[/tex]=4/0.6
= 6.66 Pa
The same expression can be used to find the change in volume when pressure is given or vice versa
