Answer:
The new pressure is 21.19 atm.
Explanation:
Original volume of the gas was 21 L at 11.1 atm
Neon in a piston is compressed to a volume of 11 L.
It is required to find the new pressure in atm. Boyle's law gives the relationship between volume and pressure. Its mathematical form is given by :
[tex]P_1V_1=P_2V_2[/tex]
We have,
[tex]P_1=11.1\ atm\\\\V_1=21\ L\\\\V_2=11\ L\\\\P_2=?[/tex]
Using above equation,
[tex]P_2=\dfrac{P_1V_1}{V_2}\\\\P_2=\dfrac{11.1\times 21}{11}\\\\P_2=21.19\ atm[/tex]
So, the new pressure is 21.19 atm.
