Answer:

13.64 L

Step-by-step explanation:

The new volume can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is


P_1V_1 = P_2V_2

From the question we have


V_2 = (P_1V_1)/(P_2) \\

From the question we have


V_2 = (25 * 30)/(55) = (750)/(55) \\ = 13.636363...

We have the final answer as

13.64 L

Hope this helps you
