Answer: 0.24 atm
Explanation:
To calculate the new pressure, we use the equation given by Boyle's law. This law states that pressure is directly proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature.
The equation given by this law is:
[tex]P_1V_1=P_2V_2[/tex]
where,
[tex]P_1[/tex] = initial pressure of gas = 1.0 atm
[tex]V_1[/tex] = initial volume of gas = [tex]0.80 m^3[/tex]
[tex]P_2[/tex] = final pressure of gas= ?
[tex]V_2[/tex] = final volume of gas = [tex]3.32m^3[/tex]
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]1.0\times 0.80m^3=P_2\times 3.32m^3[/tex]
[tex]P_2=0.24atm[/tex]
Thus the atmospheric pressure of the gas is 0.24 atm
