Answer:
272.22 mL
Explanation:
The new volume can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is
[tex]P_1V_1 = P_2V_2[/tex]
where
P1 is the initial pressure
P2 is the final pressure
V1 is the initial volume
V2 is the final volume
Since we're finding the new volume we have
[tex]V_2 = \frac{P_1V_1}{P_2} \\[/tex]
First convert 745 mmHg to atm
760 mmHg = 1 atm
745 mmHg = 745/760 = 0.98 atm
We have
[tex]V_2 = \frac{500 \times 0.98}{1.8} \\ = 272.222...[/tex]
We have the final answer as
272.22 mL
Hope this helps you
