3. A 50.0 L sample of gas collected in the upper atmosphere at a pressure of 18.3 mmHg is compressed into a 150.0 mL container at the same temperature.

a. What is the new pressure, in atm?

b. To what volume would the original sample have had to be compressed to exert a pressure of 10.0 atm?

a.

b.

Explanation:

Hello,

a. In this case, we use the Boyle's law as en inversely proportional relationship between pressure and volume:

Thus, for the given conditions, one computes the new pressure as shown below:

b. Now, we should find the final volume for a new pressure of 10 atm:

Best regards.

organisms are more likely to be more preserved in mud than sand because mud is moist and wet, while sand is very dry.
