A sample of hydrogen has a volume of 30 L under a pressure of 5 atm. What will the pressure of this gas be if the volume were decreased to 5 L?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The new pressure of this gas is 30 atm.

Explanation:

According to the Boyle's law, pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume. It is given as :

[tex]P_1V_1=P_2V_2[/tex]

Here,

[tex]V_1=30\ L\\\\P_1=5\ atm\\\\V_2=5\ L[/tex]

[tex]P_2=?[/tex]

[tex]P_2=\dfrac{P_1V_1}{V_2}\\\\P_2=\dfrac{30\times 5}{5}\\\\P_2=30\ atm[/tex]

So, new pressure of this gas is 30 atm.
