|
||||
- Number of mosquitoes surviving at end: ____
|
||||
- Survival rate: _____%

## Calculations
|
||||
|
||||
1. Estimated Pressure (using Boyle's Law):
|
||||
P2 = (P1 * V1) / V2
|
||||
Where:
|
||||
- P1 = Initial pressure (101.325 kPa)
|
||||
- V1 = Initial volume (mL)
|
||||
- V2 = New volume (mL)
|
||||
- P2 = New pressure to be calculated (kPa)
|
||||
|
||||
2. Survival Rate:
|
||||
Survival Rate (%) = (Number of surviving mosquitoes / Initial number of mosquitoes) * 100
