    A)  10.8 cm of Hg   

    B)  14.9 cm of Hg

    C)  21.8 cm of Hg   

    D)  38.8 cm of Hg

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     Given that, \[{{p}_{1}}=76\,cm\] of Hg (initial pressure at NTP) \[{{p}_{2}}=?,\,\,{{V}_{1}}=5L,\,\,{{V}_{2}}=30+5=35\,L\] According to Boyles law,                 \[{{p}_{1}}{{V}_{1}}={{p}_{2}}{{V}_{2}}\]                 \[76\times 5={{p}_{2}}\times 35\]                 \[{{p}_{2}}=\frac{76\times 5}{35}\]                 = 10.8 cm of Hg
