A certain amount of chlorine gas was placed inside a cylinder with a movable piston at one end. The initial volume was 3.00 L and the initial pressure of chlorine was 1.60 atm . The piston was pushed down to change the volume to 1.00 L. Calculate the final pressure of the gas if the temperature and number of moles of chlorine remain constant

Respuesta :

The  final  pressure   of a  gas  is calculated  using  Bolyes law  formula 

that is  P1V1 =P2V2
p1=1.6 atm
V1=3.0L
V2=  1.0L
P2=?

P2  is =  P1V1/V2

=  1.6  atm  x3.0L /1.0  L  = 4.8   atm
