1) List the known and unknown quantities.
Initial conditions:
Weight (pressure): 150 g.
Volume: 8.5 cc.
Final conditions:
Weight (pressure): 350 g.
Volume: unknown.
2) Assuming we can use weight as pressure, we can use Boyle's law.
This law states that there is a relationship between pressure and volume according to the following question:
[tex]P_1V_1=P_2V_2[/tex]3) Plug in the known quantities and solve for V2.
[tex](150\text{ }g)*(8.5\text{ }cc)=(350\text{ }g)*(V_2)[/tex][tex]V_2=\frac{(150\text{ }g)*(8.5\text{ }cc)}{350\text{ }g}[/tex][tex]V_2=\frac{(150\text{ }g)*(8.5\text{ }cc)}{350\text{ }g}=3.64286\text{ }cc[/tex]The volume in the syringe would be 3.6 cc if 350 g were used.
