Question

f
A fluorinated organic gas in a cylinder is com-
pressed from an initial volume of 930 ml at
156 Pa to 400 mL at the same temperature.
What is the final pressure?
Answer in units of Pa.

Answer 1

Answer:

Final pressure = 362.7 Pa

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial volume, V₁ = 930 ml

Initial pressure P₁ = 156 Pa

Final volume, V₂ = 400 mL

We need to find the final pressure. We know that the relation between volume and pressure is inverse i.e.

$V\propto \dfrac{1}{P}\\\\\dfrac{V_1}{V_2}=\dfrac{P_2}{P_1}\\\\P_2=\dfrac{V_1P_1}{V_2}\\\\P_2=\dfrac{930\times 156}{400}\\\\P_2=362.7\ Pa$

So, the final pressure is equal to 362.7 Pa.
