600. ml of a gas at 50.0 kPa is compressed, at constant temperature, until its volume becomes 200. ml. What is the new pressure of the gas? Be precise! *

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is 150 kPa

Explanation:

The new pressure can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

[tex]P_1V_1 = P_2V_2[/tex]

Since we are finding the new pressure

[tex]P_2 = \frac{P_1V_1}{V_2} \\[/tex]

From the question we have

[tex]P_2 = \frac{600 \times 50000}{200} = \frac{30000000}{200} \\ = 150000[/tex]

We have the final answer as

150 kPa

Hope this helps you
