Answer:
[tex]\large \boxed{\text{17.mL}}[/tex]
Explanation:
The temperature and amount of gas are constant, so we can use Boyle’s Law.
[tex]p_{1}V_{1} = p_{2}V_{2}[/tex]
Data:
[tex]\begin{array}{rcrrcl}p_{1}& =& \text{123.5 kPa}\qquad & V_{1} &= & \text{25 L} \\p_{2}& =& \text{179.9 kPa}\qquad & V_{2} &= & ?\\\end{array}[/tex]
Calculations:
[tex]\begin{array}{rcl}123.5 \times 25 & =& 179.9V_{2}\\3088 & = & 179.9V_{2}\\V_{2} & = &\dfrac{3088}{179.9}\\\\& = &\textbf{17 L}\\\end{array}\\\text{The new volume of the gas is } \large \boxed{\textbf{17 L}}[/tex]
