Answer:

8.13 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

The required volume can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law


V_2 = (P_1V_1)/(P_2) \\

where

P1 is the initial pressure

P2 is the final pressure

V1 is the initial volume

V2 is the final volume

From the question we have


V_2 = (6.5 * 1.25)/(1) = 6.5 * 1.25 \\ = 8.125

We have the final answer as

8.13 mL

Hope this helps you
