Answer:

24.2 mL.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming constant temperature, we can solve this problem using Boyle's law, which states:

  • P₁V₁=P₂V₂

Where:

  • P₁ = 0.98 bar
  • V₁ = 25 mL
  • P₂ = 1.013 bar
  • V₂ = ?

We input the data:

  • 0.98 bar * 25 mL = 1.013 bar * V₂

And solve for V₂:

  • V₂ = 24.18 mL

The closest option is the second one: 24.2 mL.
