What pressure is required to compress 156.0 liters of air at 2.00 atmosphere into a cylinder
whose volume is 36.0 liters?
A)8.67 L
B)8.67 atm
C)2808 L
D)2808 atm

Respuesta :

Answer:

option B.

Explanation:

Given,

V₁ = 156 L

P₁ =2 atm

Now, in the cylinder

P₂ = ?

V₂ = 36

Using relation between pressure and volume

[tex]\dfrac{P_1}{V_2}=\dfrac{P_2}{V_1}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{2}{36}=\dfrac{P_2}{156}[/tex]

[tex]P_2 = 8.67\ atm[/tex]

Hence,  pressure is equal to 8.67 atm.

Hence, the correct answer is option B.
