Answer: 151.2mL
Step-by-step explanation:
Initial volume V1 = 151mL
Initial pressure P1 = 0.947atm
Final volume V2 = ?
Final pressure P2 = 0.948atm
According to Boyle's law, the volume of a fixed mass of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure when temperature is constant.
Thus, Boyles' Law is expressed as:
P1/V1 = P2/V2
0.947/151 = 0.948/V2
To get the value of V2, cross multiply
0.947 x V2 = 0.948 x 151
0.947V2 = 143.148
Divide both sides by 0.947
0.947V2/0.947 = 143.148/0.947
V2 = 151.159 mL (Round to nearest tenth 151.2mL
Thus, the final volume is 151.2mL
