Answer:
24 atm.
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Initial volume (V₁) = 240 L
Initial pressure (P₁) = 2 atm
Final volume (V₂) = 20 L
Temperature = constant
Final pressure (P₂) =?
The final pressure required, can be obtained by using the Boyle's law equation as shown below:
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
2 × 240 = P₂ × 20
480 = P₂ × 20
Divide both side by 20
P₂ = 480 / 20
P₂ = 24 atm
Thus, the final pressure required is 24 atm.
