 | | Question: If we have 4 L of methane gas at a pressure of 1.0 atm, what will be the pressure of the gas if we squish it down so it has a volume of 2.5 L? Answer: Let's plug the numbers we've been given into the problem. |
 | | The ideal gas law is an equation of state, which means that you can use the basic properties of the gas to find out more about it without having to change it in any way. |
 | | Where P is the pressure of the gas (either in atmospheres or kilopascals), V is the volume (in liters), n is the number of moles, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is the temperature (in Kelvins). |
