## 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
