a quantity of gas in a piston cylinder has a volume of 0.500 m^3 to the power and a pressure of 200 Pa. the Piston compresses the gas to 0.150 m^3 in an isothermal ( constant temperature) process what is the final pressure of the gas

Respuesta :

According to Boyle's Law, an ideal gas at a constant temperature will satisfy the following relation between the initial and final conditions of pressure and volume:

[tex]P_1V_1=P_2V_2[/tex]

Isolate P_2 from the equation:

[tex]P_2=\frac{_{}P_1V_1_{}_{}}{V_2}[/tex]

Substitute the values for the initial pressure as well as for the two volumes to find the value of the final pressure of the gas:

[tex]\begin{gathered} P_2=\frac{(200Pa)(0.500m^3)}{(0.150m^3)} \\ =667Pa \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the final pressure of the gas is:

[tex]667Pa[/tex]
