Answer:
10 atm.
Explanation:
Using the combined gas law equation as follows;
P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
Where;
P1 = initial pressure (atm)
P2 = final pressure (atm)
V1 = initial volume (L)
V2 = final volume (L)
T1 = initial temperature (K)
T2 = final temperature (K)
According to the information provided in this question,
P1 = 5 atm
P2 = ?
V1 = 4L
V2 = 2L
T1 = 25°C = 25 + 273 = 298K
T2 = 25°C = 298K
Using P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
5 × 4/298 = P2 × 2/298
20/298 = 2P2/298
Cross multiply
298 × 20 = 298 × 2P2
5960 = 596P2
P2 = 5960 ÷ 596
P2 = 10 atm.
