Answer:
143.9 mL is the new volume for the gas.
Explanation:
Let’s apply one of the gases law to solve this problem:
Boyle’s law states that the product of pressure and volume remains constant when the T° is not modified.
P₁ . V₁ = P₂ . V₂
Be careful because we have T° in mmHg. We need to convert to atm:
750.12 mmHg . 1 atm / 760 mmHg = 0.987 atm
We replace data:
150 mL . 0.947 atm = 0.987 atm . V₂
V₂ = (150 mL . 0.947 atm) / 0.987 atm
V₂ = 143.9 mL
This term P . V comes from the Ideal Gases Law
P . V = n . R . T
