Suppose you have a gas under 2 atm of pressure and taking up 0.5m ^ 3 of volume. if you compress the gas so that it takes up 0.1m ^ 3 of volume, what is the new pressure of the gas? о o o 1 atm 10 atm 0.10 atm

10 atm

Explanation:

Assuming the gas is kept at constant temperature, we can apply the following law (Boyle's law):

"For a gas kept at a constant temperature, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to its volume"

Mathematically,

where p is the pressure of the gas and V its volume.

The equation can also be rewritten as

Where for the gas in the problem, we have:

is the initial pressure

is the initial volume

is the final pressure

is the final volume

Solving for p2,

gets less
