A student traps a sample of gas inside a sealed syringe.
The initial pressure of the gas (P1P_1P1) is 110 kPa.
The initial volume of the gas (V1V_1V1) is 150 cm3.
The syringe plunger is slowly pushed in, keeping the temperature of the gas constant.
The new volume of the gas (V2V_2V2) is 60 cm3.
Calculate the new pressure of the gas, P2P_2P2.
Use the equation:
P2=P1×V1V2 P_2 = \frac{P_1 \times V_1}{V_2} P2=V2P1×V1
