its volume this is the answer because the mercury will turn into gas. gas has more volume because it takes up more space as it spreads.
no because they are two diffrent things
2.24 liters is the volume of the gas if pressure is increased to 1000 Torr.
Explanation:
Data given:
Initial volume of the gas V1 = 2.6 liters
Initial pressure of the gas P1 = 860 Torr 1.13 atm
final pressure on the gas P2 = 1000 Torr 1.315 atm
final volume of the gas after pressure change V2 =?
From the data given above, the law used is :
Boyles Law equation:
P1V1 = P2V2
V2 = P1V1/P2
= 1.13 X 2.6/ 1.31
= 2.24 Liters
If the pressure is increased to 1000 Torr or 1.315 atm the volume changes to 2.24 liters. Initially the volume was 2.6 litres and the pressure was 860 torr.
