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