Answer:
The volume upto which a gas can be compressed at 5.2 atm pressure is 33.65 L.
Explanation:
Under constant temperature:
Initial volume of the gas \(V_1=175 L\)
Initial pressure of the gas = \(P_1=1.0 atm\)
Final volume of the gas \(V_2=?\)
Final pressure of the gas = \(P_2=5.2 atm\)
Applying Boyle's law:
\(P_1V_1=P_2V_2\) (constant temperature)
\(V_2=\frac{1.0 atm\times 175 L}{5.2 atm}=33.65 L\)
The volume upto which a gas can be compressed at 5.2 atm pressure is 33.65 L.
