Question

What pressure would it take to compress 200 L of helium gas initially at 1.00 atm into a 2.00 L tank at constant temperature?

Answer 1

`P_1V_1=P_2V_2`, given constant temperature and given quantity of gas.

Explanation:

`P_2=(P_1V_1)/V_2` `=` `(200*Lxx1.00*atm)/(2.00*L)` `=` `"A lot of atmospheres"`
