Answer:
1.2 atm
Explanation:
Given data
- Volume of the gas in the tank (V₁): 200.0 L
- Pressure of ethylene gas in the tank (P₁): ?
- Volume of the gas in the torch (V₂): 300 L
- Pressure of the gas in the torch (P₂): 0.8 atm
If we consider ethylene gas to be an ideal gas, we can find the pressure of ethylene gas in the tank using Boyle's law.
[tex]P_1 \times V_1 = P_2 \times V_2\\P_1 = \frac{P_2 \times V_2}{V_1} = \frac{0.8atm \times 300L}{200.0L} = 1.2 atm[/tex]
