What pressure (in atmospheres) is required to compress 1.00 L of gas at 760. mm Hg pressure to a volume of 50.0 mL? Chemistry Gases Atmospheric Pressure 1 Answer anor277 Jan 11, 2017 #"20 atmospheres........"# Explanation: #P_1V_1=P_2V_2#, now #P_1=1*atm#, and so we solve for #P_2#: #P_2=(P_1V_1)/V_2=(1.00*cancelLxx1*atm)/(0.050*cancelL)=??atm# Answer link Related questions How does atmospheric pressure affect evaporation?
