Answer:

The answer to your question is 56 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

V1 = 97 ml

P1 = 130 kPa

V2 = ?

P2 = 225 kPa

Formula

Use Boyle's law to solve this problem because it relates to the volume and the pressure.

V1P1 = V2P2

Solve for V2

V2 = (V1P1) / P2

Substitution

V2 = (97 x 130) / 225

Simplification

V2 = 12610 / 225

Result

V2 = 56 ml
