If a gas had a volume of 6.7 L and started at STP, what would the new pressure be
if the volume ended at 1.5 L?

The new pressure would be = 4.46 atm

Further explanation

Given

V₁=6.7 L(at STP, 1 atm 273 K)

V₂=1.5 L

Required

The new pressure

Solution

Boyle's Law  

At a constant temperature, the gas volume is inversely proportional to the pressure applied  

[tex]\rm p_1V_1=p_2.V_2\\\\\dfrac{p_1}{p_2}=\dfrac{V_2}{V_1}[/tex]

P₂ = (P₁V₁)/V₂

P₂ = (1 atm x 6.7 L)/1.5 L

P₂ = 4.46 atm
