Bryant Forbes · Answer 1

The answer to your question is 308.1 kPa

Explanation:

Data

Volume 1 = V1 = 4.75 l

Pressure 1 = P1 = 120 kPa

Volume 2 = V2 = 1.85 l

Pressure 2 = ?

Process

To solve this problem use Boyle's law.

P1V1 = P2V2

- Solve for P2

P2 = P1V1 / V2

- Substitution

P2 = (120 x 4.75) / 1.85

-Simplification

P2 = 570 / 1.85

-Result

P2 = 308.1 kPa
