A titanium sampling cylinder is used on a deep-sea research vessel to collect a sample of high-pressure methane gas.

Experimental Setup

The initial pressure, P1P_1P1​, inside the cylinder is 24.0 MPa.

The internal volume, V1V_1V1​, of the cylinder is 45.0 cm3.

When the valve is opened, the gas expands to fill the large, evacuated expansion chamber.

The final volume of the gas, V2V_2V2​, in the expansion chamber is 1800 cm3.

Calculate the final pressure, P2P_2P2​, of the methane gas inside the expansion chamber.

Use the equation:

P1V1=P2V2 P_1 V_1 = P_2 V_2 P1​V1​=P2​V2​
