Nikolai Skinner · Answer 1

a. 392

Explanation:

According to Boyles law, the pressure of a fixed mass of a gas at constant temperature is inversely proportional to the volume.

P1V1=P2V2

P1=488mm Hg

P2=757.8mm Hg

V1=609 mL

Therefore we use the values above in the formula and get:

488 mm Hg*609 mL=757.8 mm Hg*V2

V2 = (488mmHg*609 mL) / 757.8 mm Hg

=392.177 mL
