Question

if i have 5.6 liters of gas in a piston at a pressure of 1.5 pa and compress the gas until it’s volume is 4.8 L what will the new pressure inside the piston be?

Answer 1

P1V1 = P2V2
Liters to m3 = divide by 1000 or multiply by 0.001
1.5Pa * 5.6*0.001 m3= P2* 4.8*0.001 m3
0.0084 Pa•m3 = 0.0048 m3• P2
P2= 1.75 Pa
