If #9 L# of a gas at room temperature exerts a pressure of #15 kPa# on its container, what pressure will the gas exert if the container's volume changes to #4 L#?
1 Answer
Explanation:
From the information given for this question, we can see that this kind of situation is involving Boyle's Law.
Boyle's Law states that the pressure of a fixed mass of gas at a constant temperature is inversely proportional to its volume .
In which from the definition, the equation is derived as;
When there are two situations , given initial and final value of both pressure and volume, the equation is derived as;
From the information given in this question;
