To find the new pressure, we can use Boyle's Law, which states that the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional when temperature is constant.
Boyle's Law formula: P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
Given data:
Initial pressure, P₁ = 405 kg pascals
Initial volume, V₁ = 6 L
Final volume, V₂ = 4 L
Temperature remains constant.
Using the formula, we can substitute the given values and solve for the final pressure, P₂.
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
405 kg pascals * 6 L = P₂ * 4 L
2430 kg pascal * L = 4P₂ * L
Simplifying the equation:
2430 = 4P₂
Divide both sides by 4:
P₂ = 2430 / 4
P₂ = 607.5 kg pascals
Therefore, the new pressure will be 607.5 kg pascals when the volume is reduced to 4 liters.
Add of pressure of 405 kg pascals the volume of a gas is 6 L assuming the temperature remains constant at what pressure will the new volume be 4 liters
