Suppose you have a gas in a container being pressed down by a piston. The initial volume of the gas is 5.0 m3 and the pressure is 7.5 mmHg. If the volume decreases to 4.0 m3what is the pressure? (The product of the volume and pressure remain constant.)5.0 m37.5 mmHg) = (P)(4.0 m3

Answer» Since PV = Constant , the question become extremely easy.Explanation:PV = ConstantP1 V1 = P2 V27.5 * 5 = P2 x 4 P2 = 9.375Feel FREE to ask if any DOUBT.
