Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The final pressure of the gas is to be calculated in $\text{killoPascal}\left(\text{KPa}\right)$.

Concept introduction:

Boyle’s law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume $\left(P\propto \frac{\text{1}}{V}\right)$ at a constant temperature.

$PV=\text{Constant}$

At constant temperature and no. of moles $\left(\text{n}\right)$, two different pressure and volume is related by the equation as follows:

$P_{\text{1}}{V}_{\text{1}}=P_{\text{2}}{V}_{\text{2}}$ (1)

Here,

$P_{\text{1}}$ is initial pressure of the gas.

$P_{\text{2}}$ is the final pressure of the gas.

$V_{\text{1}}$ is the initial volume of gas.

$V_{\text{2}}$ is the final volume of gas.

The conversion factor to convert $\text{atm}$ to $\text{killoPascal}\left(\text{KPa}\right)$.

$\text{1}\text{atm}=\text{101}\text{.325}\text{KPa}$
