a 15.0 L tank of gas is contained at a high pressure of 8.20*10^4. The tank is opened and the gas expands into an empty chamber with a volume of 6.00*10^4 L. Calculate the new pressure of the gas.

Answer:

[tex]P_2=20.5[/tex]

Explanation:

Assuming that temperature is constant

According to Boyle's Law, at constant temperature pressure is inversly proportional to the volume  and mathematically it can be expressed as:

[tex]P_1V_1 = P_2V_2[/tex]..........1

[tex]P_1=8.2 \times 10^4[/tex]

[tex]P_2=?[/tex]

[tex]V_1=15L[/tex]

[tex]V_2=6.00 \times 10^4L[/tex]

from the first equation after putting all the value

we get,

[tex]P_2=20.5[/tex]
