Answer:
0.89 times
Explanation:
Let the initial volume of the tank be V.
Finally, we shall determine how much larger the final volume of the gas will be. This is illustrated below:
Initial pressure (P₁) = 130 kPa
Initial volume (V₁) = V
Final pressure (P₂) = 145.5 kPa
Final volume (V₂) =?
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
130 × V = 145.5 × V₂
130V = 145.5 × V₂
Divide both side by 145.5
V₂ = 130V / 145.5
V₂ = 0.89V
Therefore, the final volume of gas will be 0.89 times the initial volume.
