A 2.0 mL sample of air in a syringe exerts a pressure of 1.02 atm at 22 C. If that syringe is placed into boiling water at 100 C and the pressure in the syringe increases to 1.27 atm, what is the new volume of the air in the syringe?

The new volume of the air in the syringe is 7.3 mL.

Explanation:

Given: = 2.0 mL,     = 1.02 atm,          

= ?,               = 1.27 atm,              

Formula used to calculate the new volume in syringe is as follows.

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

Thus, we can conclude that the new volume of the air in the syringe is 7.3 mL.
