A sample of neon gas at a pressure of 0.609 atm and a temperature of 25.0 °C, occupies a volume of 19.9 liters. If the gas is compressed at constant temperature to a volume of 12.7 liters, the pressure of the gas sample will be
atm.

The pressure of the gas sample will be  0.954 atm.

Explanation:

Boyle's law states that the pressure of a gas in a closed container is inversely proportional to the volume of the container, when the temperature is constant. That is, if the pressure increases, the volume decreases; conversely if the pressure decreases, the volume increases.

Boyle's law is expressed mathematically as:

Pressure * Volume = constant

o P * V = k

To determine the change in pressure or volume during a transformation at constant temperature, the following is true:

P1 · V1 = P2 · V2

That is, the product between the initial pressure and the initial volume is equal to the product of the final pressure times the final volume.

In this case:

Replacing:

0.609 atm* 19.9 L= P2* 12.7 L

Solving:

P2= 0.954 atm

The pressure of the gas sample will be  0.954 atm.

the millers tale is the answer.

while cooking a piece of 1/2 pound beef steak, a cast iron pan (2.4kg in weight) was heated 260 celsius.
