Answer:
0.89 L
Explanation:
Applying,
Boyle’s Law,
PV = P’V’………………… Equation 1
P represent initial pressure, V represent initial volume, P’ represent final pressure, V’ represent final volume
Make V’ the subject of the equation
V’ = PV/P’………….. Equation 2
From the question,
Given: P = 150 mm Hg, V = 4.31 liters, P’ = 725 mm Hg
Substitute these values into equation 2
V’ = (150×4.31)/725
V’ = 0.89 L
