1.	A gas occupies a volume of 2.5 L at 9xx10^(5)N m^(-2). Calculate the additional pressure required to decrease the volume of the gas to 1.5 L, keeping the temperature constant.
Answer» <P> SOLUTION :`V_(1)=2.5 L, P_(1)=9xx10^(5) N m^(-2) , V_(2)=1.5 L, P_(2)`=? Apply `P_(1)V_(1)=P_(2)V_(2)`. Calculate `P_(2)`. We get `P_(2)=15xx10^(6) N m^(-2)` Additional PRESSURE required `=15xx10^(6)N m^(-2)-9xx10^(5)N m^(-2)=6xx10^(5)N m^(-2)`.
