A toilet flush is operated by the compression of air. The air inside the flush has a pressure of 1.0 x 10^5 Pa and a volume of 150 cm^3. When the flush is operated the volume is reduced to 50 cm^3. The temperature of the air remains constant during this process. Calculate the new pressure of the air inside the flush.

This problem can be solved using the formula P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2. Both T1 and T2 are the same, so they factor out. So....

P1V1=P2V2

P2 = P1V1/V2

P2 = (10^5)(150)/(50)

P2 = 3*10^5 Pa or, aprox. 3 Atm.
