A gas has a volume of 30 L at 105 kPa. What pressure is required to compress the gas to 21 L?

150 kPa

Explanation:

Given that,

Original volume of gas V1 = 30L

Original pressure of gas P1 = 105 kPa

New pressure of gas P2 = ?

New volume of gas V2 = 21L

Since pressure and volume are given while temperature is constant, apply the formula for Boyle's law

P1V1 = P2V2

105 kPa x 30L = P2 x 21L

3150 kPa L = P2 x 21L

P2 = 3150 kPa L / 21 L

P2 = 150 kPa

Thus, 150 kPa of pressure is required to compress the gas

if the concentration of products is decreased, the equilibrium will shift toward the products). add an inert gas (one that is not involved in the reaction) to the constant-volume reaction mixture: this will increase the total pressure of the system, but will have no effect on the equilibrium condition.
