.
The cylinder of an exhaust pump has a volume of 25 cm3.
It is connected through a valve to a flask, of volume 225 cm3, containing air at a pressure of 75 cm of mercury.
Calculate the pressure of the air in the flask after two strokes of the pump,
assuming that the temperature of the air remains constant.
