Answer:
Explanation:
In order to find the volume be at 101.3 kPa we use Boyle's law which is
[tex]P_1V_1 = P_2V_2[/tex]
where
P1 is the initial pressure
P2 is the final pressure
V1 is the initial volume
V2 is the final volume
Since we are finding the final volume
[tex]V_2 = \frac{P_1V_1}{P_2} \\ [/tex]
From the question
P1 = 112 kPa = 112000 Pa
V1 = 259 cm³
P2 = 101.3 kPa = 101300 Pa
We have
[tex]V_2 = \frac{112000 \times 259}{101300} = \frac{29008000}{101300} \\ = 286.3573543...[/tex]
We have the final answer as
Hope this helps you
