Answer:
14.42 atm.
Explanation:
We can use the general law of ideal gas: PV = nRT.
where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.
V is the volume of the gas in L.
n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.
R is the general gas constant.
T is the temperature of the gas in K.
- If n and T are constant, and have two different values of V and P:
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
P₁ = 9.8 atm, V₁ = 7.80 L.
P₂ = ??? atm, V₂ = 5.30 L.
∴ P₂ = P₁V₁/V₂ = (9.8 atm)(7.80 L)/(5.30 L) = 14.42 atm.
