If the temperature on 244 mL of a gas is changed to 488 mL and 6 atm, at constant
temperature, what is the initial pressure of the gas?

Respuesta :

Answer:

12 atm

Explanation:

To find the initial pressure we use the formula for Boyle's law which is

[tex]P_1V_1 = P_2V_2[/tex]

Since we are finding the initial pressure

[tex]P_1 = \frac{P_2V_2}{V_1} \\[/tex]

From the question we have

[tex]P_1 = \frac{488 \times 6}{244} = \frac{2928}{244} \\ [/tex]

We have the final answer as

12 atm

Hope this helps you
