What pressure is required to compress 5 liters of gas at 1 atm pressure to 1 liter at a constant temperature?
Solution:
At the given problem, if the temperature is constant during the compression of a gas, then it is a principle of Boyle's Law. The volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure. The equation for Boyle's Law can be written as follows
Therefore, the pressure of a gas after it is compressed to 1 liter is
