Question
Assuming temperature remaining constant calculate the pressure of the gas in the following:
The pressure of a gas having volume 1800 ml. originally occupying 300 ml. at 6 atms. pressure.

Solution
V1 = 300 ml
P1 = 6 atm.
V2 = 1800 ml
P2 = ?
At constant temperature P1V1 = P2V2
∴ P2 = `("P"_1"V"_1)/"V"_2 = (6 xx 300)/(1800) = 1`atm.
