Answer:
200 mL
Explanation:
Given that,
Initial volume, V₁ = 300 mL
Initial pressure, P₁ = 0.5 kPa
Final pressure, P₂ = 0.75 kPa
We need to find the final volume of the sample if pressure is increased at constant temperature. It is based on Boyle's law. Its mathematical form is given by :
[tex]V\propto \dfrac{1}{P}\\\\P_1V_1=P_2V_2[/tex]
V₂ is the final volume
[tex]V_2=\dfrac{P_1V_1}{P_2}\\\\V_2=\dfrac{300\times 0.5}{0.75}\\\\V_2=200\ mL[/tex]
So, the final volume of the sample is 200 mL.
