The minimum pressure required to compress 600 dm³ of a gas at 1 bar to 150 dm³ at 40°C is

11 2020 Phase-2 States of MatterBoyle's law Medium
The minimum pressure required to compress 600 dm$^3$ of a gas at 1 bar to 150 dm$^3$ at 40°C is
A 2.5 bar
B 4.0 bar
C 0.2 bar
D 1.0 bar

Detailed Solution

At constant temperature, Boyle's law gives $P_1V_1=P_2V_2\Rightarrow1\times600=P_2\times150\Rightarrow P_2=4.0$ bar.
