Asample of gas has a volume of 2.4 l and a pressure of 1.2 atm. what would the pressure of the same gas sample be if the volume is reduced to 1.8 l at a constant temperature? 0.90 atm 1.6 atm 5.2 atm 3.6 atm

The correct answer option is 1.6 atm.

Explanation:

We know that there is a sample gas which has a volume of 2.4 L with a pressure 1.2 atm and we are to find the pressure of the same gas sample if its volume is reduced to 1.8 L at a constant temperature.

We will apply the Boyle's law here which states that the "pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature".

Substituting the values in the formula to get:

Therefore, the pressure of the same gas sample will be 1.6 atm if the volume is reduced to 1.8 L at a constant temperature.

i have no clue hope you find the answer
