Agas that exerts a pressure of 151 mm hg in a container with a volume of l will exert a pressure of 166 mm hg when transferred to a container with a volume of 0.532 l

0.585 L

Explanation:

At constant pressure the pressure and volume are inversely proportional for a given amount of a gas.

P α V⁻¹

Therefore we can say that product of pressure and volume will be a constant.

PV = constant

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₁ = 151 mmHg

V₁ = ?

P₂ = 166 mmHg

V₂ = 0.532 L

Putting values

151 X V₁ = 166 X 0.532

V₁ = 0.585 L, this is the volume of the gas which exerts a pressure of 151 mmHg
