a container with a volume of 2.5L contains air at a pressure of 0.5 atm. if the volume is reduced to 1.5L at constant temperature, what will be the resulting pressure of the air inside

Final pressure of the air inside is 0.83atm

Explanation:

Boyle's law is the gas law that relates the change in volume when pressure change at constant temperature and vice versa. The equation is:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Where P is pressure and V is volume of 1, initial state and 2, final state of the gas

Replacing:

P₁ = 0.5atm

V₁ = 2.5L

P₂ = ?

V₂ = 1.5L

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

0.5atm*2.5L = P₂*1.5L

0.83atm = P₂
