Answer: a) 525 ml

b) 67.2 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

Boyle's Law: This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

where,

a)
image = initial pressure of gas = 752 mm Hg


image = final pressure of gas = 385 mm Hg


image = initial volume of gas = 250 ml


image = final volume of gas = ?

Therefore, the volume at 385 mm Hg is 525 ml.

b)
image = initial pressure of gas = 752 mm Hg


image = final pressure of gas = 3.68 atm = 2796.8 mm Hg (760mmHg=1atm)


image = initial volume of gas = 250 ml


image = final volume of gas = ?

Therefore, the volume at 3.68 atm is 67.2 ml.
