Question

what is the final pressure of a sample of gas at 1.3 atm and 1.9 liters that is compressed to 158 mL

To find the final pressure of the gas sample after compression, we can use the ideal gas law equation:

P1V1 = P2V2

Where:
P1 = initial pressure = 1.3 atm
V1 = initial volume = 1.9 L
P2 = final pressure (unknown)
V2 = final volume = 158 mL = 0.158 L

Plugging in the values, we get:

(1.3 atm)(1.9 L) = P2(0.158 L)

P2 = (1.3 atm)(1.9 L) / (0.158 L)
P2 = 15.77 atm

Therefore, the final pressure of the gas sample after compression is 15.77 atm.
