Answer:
The answer to your question is Pressure 1 = 1.73 atm
Explanation:
Data
Volume 1 = 5 l
Pressure 1 = ?
Volume 2 = 12 l
Pressure 2 = 0.72 atm
Process
To solve this problem use Boyle's law to solve this problem
Pressure 1 x Volume 1 = Pressure 2 x Volume 2
-Solve for Pressure 1
Pressure 1 = Pressure 2 x Volume 2 / Volume 1
-Substitutiion
Pressure 1 = 0.72 x 12 / 5
-Simplification
Pressure 1 = 8.64/5
-Result
Pressure 1 = 1.73 atm
