Answer:
27.2atm
Explanation:
Data obtained from the question include:
V1 (initial volume) = 27.2mL
P1 (initial Pressure) = 1atm
V2 (final volume) = 1mL
P2 (final pressure) =?
Since the temperature is constant, the gas is obeying Boyle's law.
Mathematically, Boyle's law is expressed as:
P1V1 = P2V2
1 x 27.2 = P2 x 1
P2 = 27.2atm
The final pressure is 27.2atm.
Therefore, the pressure needed to compress the gas is 27.2atm
