Answer 1

V2 = 0.465

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to follow the equation below:

P1V1 = P2V2

We know that:

V1 = 500ml = 0.5L (must be convert to L)

P1 = 742 torr (must be convert to atm by divided by 760) = 0.976 atm

P2 = 795 torr = 1.05 atm

V2 = ?

P1V1 = P2V2

0.976 x 0.5 = 1.05 x V2

0.488 = 1.05 x V2

(Divided by side by 1.05 to get rid of it)

V2 = 0.465
