What pressure is needed to compress the air in a 1.105 liter cylinder at 755 torr to a volume of 1.00 ml?

p1.V1 = p2.V2 (Boile-GayLussac's gas law)
755(torr)*1105(mL) = p2(torr)*1.00(mL)
The pressure is 755*1105= 8.34*105 torr = 1098 atm. (which looks rather high to me for practical purposes, and maybe oxygen / nitrogen become fluidised;
moreover is your cylinder designed for pressure over -safety!- 3000 atm??)

If i have 5.6liters of gas in a piston at a pressure of 1.5 ATM and compress the gas volume is 4.8L what will the new pressure be?
1.75 atm
What happens if a piston is used to decrease the volume of a contained gas?
The volume will increase as the piston moves downward. If the cylinder is sealed and the gas can not escape, the pressure in the cylinder will decrease. If the cylinder has a small opening as in a motor, the higher pressure outside will push in air that will mix with fuel to ignite when the spark plug is fired. (Supv note: it is not possible to have negative pressure. You can have zero pressure but not a deficit.)
When a cylinder of oxygen is left standing in the sun the temperature of the gas reaches 42 and deg C. The cylinder has a volume of 10 liters and contains 8 moles of oxygen. What is the pressure atmos?
The pressure is 20,68 at.
What will be the volume of a cylinder at one atmosphere if it occupies a nitrogen gas of volume 6 cubic meter at a pressure of 150 newton per sqmeter?
Your question makes little sense. If a cylinder holds 6 cubic meters of nitrogen at one atmosphere pressure the volume of the cylinder is 6 cubic meters. However as 150 newtons per squsre meter = 150 Pascals = 0.001480384754 atmospheres, if you took 6 cubic meters of nitrogen at this pressure and then increased the pressure to 1 atmosphere the volue would shrink (because the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure) from 6 cubic meters to 0.008882308524 cubic meters.
What is to squeeze gas into a smaller space called?
We usually apply the term compression to the act of squeezing a fluid to force it into a smaller volume or increase its pressure. The term applies to gases as well as fluids.
As a gas is compressed in a cylinder does its volume decrease?
"Force the substance into a smaller volume" is pretty much the definition of "compress".
How do you calculate volume after some pressure is released from cylinder?
The volume should not change if the cylinder is rigid.
What happens to volume when temperature of gas is decresd at constant pressure?
If the temperature of the gas is decreasing, then in order to maintain constant pressure, you would have to compress it in volume.
What is the volume of a cylinder with the radius of four?
The height of the cylinder is also needed . . .
What is needed to calculate the density of a graduated cylinder?
Mass and volume are needed to calculate the density of a graduated cylinder.
If i have 5.6liters of gas in a piston at a pressure of 1.5 ATM and compress the gas volume is 4.8L what will the new pressure be?
1.75 atm
A gas in a piston is compressed from a pressure P1123000 Nm2 and volume V11.25 m3 to a pressure P2445000 Nm2 and a volume V20.81 m3 There is no heat transferred to the environment The compress?
I do not believe you can compress a gas without any heat being generated to the environment.
What is meaning of compressed?
of Compress, Pressed together; compacted; reduced in volume by pressure., Flattened lengthwise.
Why is atmospheric pressure and water pressure different?
The big reason is because air is air, and water is water. The second reason is because air is compressible, while water cannot be compressed. What that means is that if you compress air to twice the pressure, it will be one-half the volume. If you compress water to be twice the pressure, the volume won't change.
Is it true that a fix amount of gas will have a fix amount of volume?
At standard temperature and pressure, it will...if you heat the gas or compress it, it will have a different volume.
What is a positive displacement air compressor?
An air compressor which is used to compress air in a cylinder, that is reducing the volume and increasing the pressure of air is known as positive displacement air compressor. It is used for the compression process in IC engines.
What happens to the gas volume at a given pressure?
The gas takes on the size and shape of the container it's in. So if you make the volume of the container smaller (compress it) the volume of the gas is smaller as well. However, this comes at a higher pressure exerted, so there is no spontaneous mass creation.Well, by definition, compress means "to make smaller; to press or squeeze together; or to make something occupy a smaller space or volume." Therefore, the very word "compress" implies a decrease in volume. So if you wanted to know what happens when you compress a gas, you are squeezing it into a smaller space, or decreasing the volume.If you were to let the gas maintain a constant temperature as you compress it, then pressure would increase. If you were to let the gas maintain a constant pressure, then temperature would decrease.If you were to rephrase your question to "what happens to the volume of gas if put under pressure," then the gas' volume would decrease. For the temperature to remain constant and the pressure to increase, a gas must decrease in volume to occupy a smaller area.
