Answer: 7.00 L
Explanation:
Boyle's Law: This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.
[tex]P\propto \frac{1}{V}[/tex] (At constant temperature and number of moles)
[tex]P_1V_1=P_2V_2[/tex]
where,
[tex]P_1[/tex] = initial pressure of gas = 42.0 mm Hg
[tex]P_2[/tex] = final pressure of gas = 75.0 mm Hg
[tex]V_1[/tex] = initial volume of gas = 12.5 L
[tex]V_2[/tex] = final volume of gas = ?
[tex]42.0\times 12.5=75.0\times V_2[/tex]
[tex]V_2=7.00L[/tex]
Therefore, the volume when the pressure has increased to 75.0 mm Hg is 7.00 L
