The gas in a 600. mL balloon has a pressure of 1.20 atm. If the temperature remains constant, what will be the pressure of the gas in the balloon when it is compressed to 400. mL?

Respuesta :

Answer:

1.8 atm

Explanation:

As temperature and moles of a gas reamin both constant, we can say that:

Pressure₁ . Volume₁ = Pressure₂ . Volume₂

1.20 atm . 600 mL = Pressure₂ . 400 mL

(1.20 atm . 600 mL) / 400 mL = Pressure ₂ → 1.8 atm
