Answer:
1.71atm
Explanation:
The following were obtained from the question:
V1 (initial volume) = 6L
P1 (initial pressure) = 1atm
V2 (final volume) = 3.5L
P2 (final pressure) =?
Using the Boyle's law equation:
P1V1 = P2V2, the final pressure can be obtained as follow:
P1V1 = P2V2
1 x 6 = P2 x 3.5
Divide both side by 3.5
P2 = 6/3.5
P2 = 1.71atm
The final i.e the new pressure inside the piston is 1.71atm
