Answer:
1.5 atm
Explanation:
In this question you have make some assumptions to solve this question:
The equation of ideal gas is:
PV=nRT
P: Pressure of gas
V: Volume of gas or container (as volume of gas is same as volume of container when gas is considered as ideal gas)
n: Number of moles of gas in container
R: Universal gas constant = 8.314 J/mole/K = 0.0821 L·atm/mole/K
T: Temperature
In this question n, R and T as considered as constant, only P and V varies.
The initial conditions are:
[tex]\textrm{P}_{i}=3.0\ \textrm{atm}, \ \textrm{V}_{i}=3.0\ \textrm{L}[/tex]
[tex]\textrm{P}_{i}\textrm{V}_{i}=\textrm{nRT}[/tex]
[tex]3\times3=\textrm{nRT}[/tex] .........eq(1)
The final conditions are:
[tex]\textrm{P}_{f}=? , \ \textrm{V}_{f}=6.0\ \textrm{L}[/tex]
[tex]\textrm{P}_{f}\textrm{V}_{f}=\textrm{nRT}[/tex]
[tex]\textrm{P}_{f}\times6=\textrm{nRT}[/tex] .........eq(2)
Since the right side of eq(1) and eq(2) are equal so the left side will also be equal.
Therefore, [tex]\textrm{P}_{f}\times6=3\times3[/tex]
[tex]\textrm{P}_{f}=\frac{3}{2}\\ \textrm{P}_{f}=1.5[/tex]
