A 500 mL sample of gas at 960 kpa is compressed to 100 mL. What is the new pressure of the gas?
Please I really need help.

Answer:

The answer is 4800 kPa

Explanation:

The new pressure can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

[tex]P_1V_1 = P_2V_2[/tex]

Since we are finding the new pressure

[tex]P_2 = \frac{P_1V_1}{V_2} \\[/tex]

From the question we have

[tex]P_2 = \frac{500 \times 960000}{100} = \frac{480000000}{100} \\ = 4800000[/tex]

We have the final answer as

4800 kPa

Hope this helps you
