1 A mass of air has a pressure of 6.0 psi and a volume of 30 ft.3. If the air is compressed to a new volume of 20 ft.3, what is the new pressure?
57% Answer Correctly
8.1 psi
3 psi
5 psi
9 psi
Solution

According to Boyle's Law, pressure and volume are inversely proportional:

\( \frac{P_1}{P_2} \) = \( \frac{V_2}{V_1} \)

In this problem, V2 = 20 ft.3, V1 = 30 ft.3 and P1 = 6.0 psi. Solving for P2:

P2 = \( \frac{P_1}{\frac{V_2}{V_1}} \) = \( \frac{6.0 psi}{\frac{20 ft.^3}{30 ft.^3}} \) = 9 psi

2 A mass of air has a pressure of 6.0 psi and a volume of 30 ft.3. If the air is compressed to a new volume of 20 ft.3, what is the new pressure?
