A sample of CO₂ gas fills a container with a volume of 44.5 L.When the volume is decreased to 13.8 L at a constant temperature,the pressure inside the container is 6.25 atm.What was the pressure inside the container originally? A) 0.035 atm B) 0.51 atm C) 1.94 atm D) 3.84 atm E) 6.25 atm

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using Boyle's Law (P1V1 = P2V2), the original pressure (P1) can be calculated as P1 = (P2 * V2) / V1 = (6.25 atm * 13.8 L) / 44.5 L = 1.94 atm.
