Answer:

The answer to your question is Pressure = 5 atm

Explanation:

Data

Volume 1 = V1 = 0.5 l

Pressure 1 = P1 = 1 atm

Volume 2 = V2 = 0.1 l

Pressure 2 = P2 = x

Formula

To solve this problem use the Boyle's equation

                      V1P1 = V2P2

Solve for P2

                     P2 = V1P1/V2

Substitution

                     P2 = (0.5 x 1) / 0.1

Simplification

                     P2 = 0.5/0.1

Result

                     P2 = 5 atm
