308308ml(3s.f.)

Explanation:

first, convert 1.501.50atm to torr:

11 atm = 760760 torr

1.51.5 atm (p_2)(p2) = 760*1.57601.5 torr = 11401140 torr

new pressure (p_2): (p2):1140# torr

boyle's law: pp (pressure) * vv (volume) = constant
p_1 * v_1 =p1v1= constant
p_2*v_2=p2v2= constant

here, the constant is 11401140 torr * 250250ml = 285,000285,000.
p_2*v_2 = 285,000p2v2=285,000

therefore p_1*v_1 = 285000

p_1 = 925 torr

v_1 = 285000/925 ml = 308 ml (3s.f.)
