Question #f8d72

Answer 1

76.2 torr

Explanation:

Boyle's law `P_1 xx V_1 = P_2 xx V_2`

Pressure and Volume are inversely related. As the Volume increases the Pressure Decreases

`P_1 = 242 t`
`V_1 = 17.0 ml`
`P_2 = P` (unknown)
`V_2 = 54.0 ml`

`242 xx 17.0 = P xx 54.0` Divide both sides by 54.0

`(242 xx 17.0)/ 54.0 = P`

76.185185 = P (Since there are only three significant digits in the problem there can be only three significant digits in the answer.)

76.2 torr = P
