what will be the minimum pressure required to compress 500dm3 of air at 1bar to 200 dm3at 30 degree celsius ?
As we know from Boyle's Law,
P1V1 = P2V2
Given,
Initial Pressure, P1 = 1 bar
Initial Volume, V1 = 500 dm3
Final Volume, V2 = 200 dm3
Final Pressure, P2 = ?
From boyle's law
P1V1 = P2V2
Substituting the values, we get,
P2 = P1V1 / V2
= (1 x 500) / 200
= 2.5 bar
P1V1 = P2V2
Given,
Initial Pressure, P1 = 1 bar
Initial Volume, V1 = 500 dm3
Final Volume, V2 = 200 dm3
Final Pressure, P2 = ?
From boyle's law
P1V1 = P2V2
Substituting the values, we get,
P2 = P1V1 / V2
= (1 x 500) / 200
= 2.5 bar
