Answer:
45.8 mL
Explanation:
If all variables are held constant, the new volume can be found using the Boyle's Law equation. The equation looks like this:
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
In this equation, "P₁" and "V₁" represent the initial pressure and volume. "P₂" and "V₂" represent the final pressure and volume. You can find the new volume by plugging the given values into the equation and simplifying.
P₁ = 3.1 atm P₂ = 10.5 atm
V₁ = 155 mL V₂ = ? mL
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂ <----- Boyle's Law equation
(3.1 atm)(155 mL) = (10.5 atm)V₂ <----- Insert values
480.5 = (10.5 atm)V₂ <----- Multiply 3.1 and 155
45.8 = V₂ <----- Divide both sides by 10.5
