Answer:
5.55 L
Explanation:
This excersise can be solved by the Boyle's law.
This law for gases states that the pressure of a gas in a vessel is inversely proportional to the volume of the vessel.
P₁ . V₁ = P₂ . V₂
The law comes from the Ideal Gases Law, in the first term.
P . V = n . R . T In this case, n . R . T are all constant.
6.35 L . 88.6 kPa = 101.3 kPa . V₂
V₂ = (6.35 L . 88.6 kPa) / 101.3 kPa
V₂ = 5.55 L
It is inversely proportional because, as it happened in this case, pressure was increased, therefore volume decreased.
