Answer: 24.1 mL
Explanation:
Initial volume V1 = 65 mL
Initial pressure P1 = 0.854 atm
Final volume of the gas V2 = ?
Final pressure of the gas P2 = 2.3 atm
Since, pressure and volume are involved while temperature is constant, apply the formula for Boyle's law
P1V1 = P2V2
0.854 atm x 65 mL = 2.3 atm x V2
55.51 atm mL = 2.3 atm x V2
V2 = (55.51 atm mL / 2.3 atm)
V2 = 24.1 mL
Thus, the final volume of the gas will be
24.1 mL
