Identify the given values: initial pressure (P1) = 315 torr, initial volume (V1) = 500 mL, final volume (V2) = 320 mL, and temperature remains constant at 130 ºC.
Recognize that this problem involves Boyle's Law, which states that for a given amount of gas at constant temperature, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to its volume. The formula is:
Rearrange the formula to solve for the final pressure (P2):
Substitute the known values into the equation:
Convert the final pressure from torr to atm if needed, using the conversion factor: 1 atm = 760 torr. This will help you match the answer choices provided.
