Synthesis gas consists of a mixture of h2 and co. calculate at 101kpa is compressed at constant temperature from 7.20 dm3 to 4.21 dm3. calculate the final pressure of the gas

The final pressure is 173 kPa.

Explanation:

A mixture of gases at an initial pressure of  P₁ = 101 kPa is compressed from an initial volume V₁ = 7.20 dm³ to a final volume V₂ = 4.21 dm³. If we suppose an ideal gas behavior and that temperature remains constant, we can apply Boyle's law to find out the final pressure P₂:

P₁ . V₁ = P₂ . V₂

Explanation:

According to Boyle's law, volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure at a constant temperature.

Mathematically,    ;    at constant T

It is given that,

          = 101 kPa,     = ?

          ,    

We will calculate the final pressure as follows.

                  = 172.73 kPa

Thus, we can conclude that the final pressure of the gas is 172.73 kPa.
