Answer:
1.14atm
Explanation:
Given parameters:
V1 = 250cm³ ;
1000cm³ = 1dm³; so this is 0.25dm³
P1 = 760torr
760torr = 1atm
V2 = 220cm³ ; 0.22dm³
Unknown:
New pressure = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we apply Boyle's law and we use the expression below:
P1 V1 = P2V2
The unknown is P2;
1 x 0.25 = P2 x 0.22
P2 = 1.14atm
