Solution

This problem can be solved using Boyle's Law, which states that the pressure and volume of a gas have an inverse relationship when temperature is held constant. In other words, P1V1 = P2V2, where P1 and V1 are the initial pressure and volume, and P2 and V2 are the final pressure and volume.

Step 1: Identify the knowns. P1 = 4.9 atmospheres V1 = 495 mL P2 = 2.8 atmospheres

Step 2: Plug the knowns into Boyle's Law and solve for V2. 4.9 atmospheres * 495 mL = 2.8 atmospheres * V2 V2 = (4.9 atmospheres * 495 mL) / 2.8 atmospheres

Step 3: Calculate V2. V2 = 866.25 mL

So, the new volume of the soda can when the pressure is reduced to 2.8 atmospheres in a cargo plane will be approximately 866.25 mL.
