The pressure of a sample of helium in a 200. ml. container is 2.0 atm. If the 5 points helium is compressed toa volume of 10 ml without changing the
temperature, what would be the pressure of the gas? *
4000 atm
1000 atm
40 atm
0.1 atm

The pressure of the gas = 40 atm

Given

200 ml container

P = 2 atm

final volume = 10 ml

Required

Final pressure

Solution

Boyle's Law  

At a fixed temperature, the gas volume is inversely proportional to the pressure applied  

Input the value :

P₂ = P₁V₁/V₂

P₂ = 2 x 200 / 10

P₂ = 40 atm

the tides are influenced by both the moon and the sun, it's easy to see that when the sun lines up with the moon and the earth, as during a new moon or full moon, the tidal effect is increased. these are known as spring tides, named not for the season, but for the fact that the water "springs" higher than normal. on the other hand, if the sun and the moon are 90 degrees apart in relation to an observer on earth as during the first quarter moon or third quarter moon, then high tides are not as high as they normally would be. this is because despite its greater distance, the sun's mass allows it to exert enough gravitational force on the oceans that it can negate some of the effects of the moon's pull. this phenomenon of lower high tides is called a neap tide. if you need more information on this topic visit moonconnection.com.
