Section 2 of 4Pressure & Volume
1
Calculate the pressure exerted by the gas if it is compressed to a volume of 0.15 m³.Assume that the temperature and mass of the gas stay the same
2
Examiner Tips and Tricks Always check whether your final answer makes sense
3
If the gas has been compressed, the final pressure is expected to be more than the initial pressure (like in the worked example)
4
is not the case, double-check the rearranging of any formulae and the values put into your calculator
5
It is very easy for students to overlook the key assumptions of Boyle's law
