5 L of methane gas at 2 atm pressure is ...

5 L of methane gas at 2 atm pressure is compressed to ` 1 .6` L at contant temperature. Calculate the final pressure.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`{:("Initial condition",,"Final condition"),(V_(1) = 5L,,V_(2) = 1.6 L),(P_(1) = 2 atm,,P_(2) = ?):}`
According to Boyle's law, PV = PV
`P_(1)V_(1) = P_(2)V_(2)`
` P_(2) = (P_(1)V_(1))/V_(2) = (5 xx 2)/(1.6) = 6.25` atm
Final pressure = ` 6.25` atm
