A 7.50 L sample of gas collected in the upper atmosphere at a pressure of 18.3 torr is compressed into a 170.0 mL container at the same temperature. What is the new pressure?

Explanation:

In order to find the new pressure we use the formula for Boyle's law which is

where

P1 is the initial pressure

P2 is the final pressure

V1 is the initial volume

V2 is the final volume

From the question

P1 = 18.3 torr

V1 = 7.5 L = 7500 mL

V2 = 170 mL

Since we are finding the final pressure

We have

We have the final answer as

solute : a solute is a substance that is dissolved in another substance is known as a solvent. it is mixed with a special mixture know as homogeneous mixture.

solvent: a solvent is a substance that dissolved a solute, which results in a solution is known as solvent.
