Answer:
9.7 atm.
Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
Initial pressure (P1) = 1 atm
Initial volume (V1) = 0.725 L
Final volume (V2) = 0.075 L
Final pressure (P2) =?
The final pressure can be obtained by using the Boyle's law equation since the temperature is constant. This is illustrated below:
P1V1 = P2V2
1 x 0.725 = P2 x 0.075
Divide both side by 0.075
P2 = 0.725 / 0.075
P2 = 9.7 atm.
Therefore, the new pressure is 9.7 atm.
