A gas pressure of 1.26 kPa and occupies a volume of 2.39 L, what will its new pressure be? Round to the nearest hundredth place.

2.45kPa

Explanation:

THIS IS A COMPLETE QUESTION

A gas pressure of 1.26 kPa and occupies a volume of 2.39 L, what will its new pressure be if the volume is 1.23L ? Round to the nearest hundredth place.

From Boyles law

P1 V1= P2V2

Where P1= initial pressure= 1.26 kPa

V1= initial volume= 2.39 L,

V2= final volume= 1.23L

P2= final pressure= ?

P1 V1= P2V2

P2= (P1 V1)/V2

= (1.26 × 2.39)/1.23

=2.45kPa

Hence, its new pressure is 2.45kPa
