600 c.c. of a gas at a pressure of 750 mm is compressed to 500 c.c. Taking the temperature to remain constant, the increase in pressure is

1. 150 mm
2. 250 mm
3. 350 mm
4. 450 mm

Correct answer: 150 mm

Solution

Using Boyle's Law (P1V1 = P2V2), the initial pressure (P1) is 750 mm, and the initial volume (V1) is 600 c.c. The final volume (V2) is 500 c.c. Solving for P2, we get P2 = (P1V1)/V2 = (750 × 600)/500 = 900 mm. The increase in pressure is 900 - 750 = 150 mm.
