When a milkshake is taken in through a straw at a pressure of 0.071 atm, the straw contains 5.0 mL of liquid. How much liquid is consumed at 0.092 atm?

3.86 mL

Explanation:

we are given;

Initial pressure, P₁ as 0.071 atm Initial volume, V₁ as 5.0 mL New pressure, P₂ as 0.092 atm

We are required to determine the new volume, V₂?

We are going to use Boyle's law;

According to Boyle's law, for a fixed mass of a gas, volume and pressure are inversely proportional, at constant temperature.

That is, P = kV

Therefore;

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Hence;

V₂ = P₁V₁ : P₂

= (0.071 atm * 5.0 mL) : 0.092 atm

= 3.859 mL

= 3.86 mL

Thus, the amount of liquid consumed is 3.86 L
