Suppose there is a sample of xenon in a sealed rectangular container. The gas exerts a total force of 6.05 N perpendicular to one of the container walls, whose dimensions are 0.121 m by 0.201 m. Calculate the pressure p of the sample.

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.147136N/m²

Explanation:

Pressure is defines as force exerts by a body per its unit area.

Pressure = Force/Area

Given the total force exerted by the gas = 6.05N

Area of the rectangular container = 0.121 m * 0.201 m = 0.024321m²

Pressure of the sample = 6.05/0.02432

Pressure of the sample = 0.147136N/m²
