Bryant Brooks · Answer 1

7.5 atm

Explanation:

Initial pressure P1 = 1.0 ATM

Initial volume V1 = 196 L

Final pressure P2 = the unknown

Final volume V2 = 26000ml or 26 L

From Boyle's law we have;

P1V1 = P2V2

P2 = P1V1/V2

P2 = 1.0 * 196/26

P2 = 7.5 atm

Therefore, as the air is compressed, the pressure increases to 7.5 atm.
