Question

A sample of xenon gas at a pressure of 0.651 atm and a temperature of 24.5 C, occupies a volume of 15.6 L. If the gas is compressed at constant temperature to a volume of 6.51 L, the pressure of the gas sample will be................... atm.

Answer 1

P₁ V₁ = P₂ V₂

P₂ = 0.651x15.6/ 6.51 = 1.56 atm
