Answer:
339.5 mL
Explanation:
Assuming the temperature of the gas remains constant, we can solve this problem by using Boyle's Law, which states that:
"When a constant mass of an ideal gas is kept at constant temperature, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to its volume"
Mathematically:
[tex]p\propto \frac{1}{V}[/tex]
where
p is the pressure of the gas
V is its volume
This equation can be rewritten as
[tex]p_1 V_1 = p_2 V_2[/tex]
where in this problem:
[tex]p_1 = 0.97 atm[/tex] is the initial pressure of the gas
[tex]V_1=350.0 mL[/tex] is the initial volume of the gas
[tex]p_2 = 1 atm[/tex] is the final pressure
Solving for V2, we find the final volume:
[tex]V_2=\frac{p_1 V_1}{p_2}=\frac{(0.97)(350.0)}{1}=339.5 mL[/tex]
