Answer:
The original volume of the gas is 0.001 mL
Explanation:
This easy excersise can be solved by the law for gases, about pressure and volume; the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure it exerts.
We can propose the rule by this formula:
P₁ / V₁ = P₂ / V₂
We replace data given: 1.50 atm / V₁ = 0.50 atm / 750 mL
As the rule says, that volume is inversely proportional, and the pressure was decreased, volume must be lower than 750 mL.
1.5atm / (0.5 atm / 750mL) = V₁
V₁ = 0.001 mL
