Answer:
1. final pressure = 0.259atm
2. 196.84mmHg
Explanation:
Using Boyle's law of equation
P1V1 = P2V2
Where;
P1 = initial pressure (atm)
P2 = final pressure (atm)
V1 = initial volume (mL)
V2 = final volume (mL)
According to the information given in this question:
V1 = 105mL
V2 = 352mL
P1 = 0.871atm
P2 = ?
Using P1V1 = P2V2
P2 = P1V1/V2
P2 = 0.871 × 105/352
P2 = 91.455/352
P2 = 0.2598
P2 = 0.259atm
To convert 0.259atm of the gas into mmHg, we multiply the value in atm by 760.
Hence, 0.259 × 760
= 196.84mmHg
