Answer:
2 L
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question
Applying boyles law,
PV = P'V'....................... Equation 1
Where P = Initial pressure, P' = Final Pressure, V = Initial Volume, V' = Final Volume.
make V' the subject of the equation
V' = PV/P'.................... Equation 2
Givne: V = 5 L, P = 500 mmHg, P' = 1240 mmHg
Substitute these values into equation 2
V' = (5×500)/1240
V' = 2500/1240
V' = 2 L
