1) Properties of gas: Pressure, temperature and volume. A perfect gas has some initial volume V₁. Then, it undergoes isothermal compression, which reduces its volume by 2.30 dm³. The final pressure P₁ and volume V₁ of the gas are 5.10 bar and 4.35 dm³ respectively. Calculate the initial pressure of the gas in a) bar, b) atm.
