Answer:

784mL

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is [ fv = (ip)(iv)/(fp) ]

We are given ip, iv, and fp. So, solve for fv.

fv = (2.4)(490)/(1.5)

fv = 1176/1.5

fv = 784

Best of Luck!

Answer:

The answer is

784 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the new volume attained we use the formula for Boyle's law

That's


P_1V_1 = P_2V_2

Since we are finding the final volume


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

P1 = 2.4 atm

V1 = 490 mL

P2 = 1.5 atm

So we have


V_2 = (2.4 * 490)/(1.5) = 784 \\

We have the final answer as

784 mL

Hope this helps you
