Expert Solution
Step 1

(a)

The Boyle's law describe the relation of gas's pressure with its volume at constant temperature and constant mol of gas. 
According to this law the volume and pressure of the gas are inversely proportional to the each other keeping mol of gas and temperature constant; this relation can be expressed as follows: 

Chemistry homework question answer, step 1, image 1

From the given graph, we can calculate the pressure as follows,

Therefore, the pressure of gas in the syringe when volume is 12.5 mL is found 16 psi.
