Answer:

final volume is 60.42 L

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

initial volume v1 = 58 L

pressure P1 = 1 atm

we take P2 = 40 mbar

solution

we get here final volume

so p2 = 1 - 40 ×
10^(-3) = 0.96 atm

so

p1 × v1 = p2 × v2 .........1

so put here value

58 × 1 = v2 × 0.96

solve it we get

v2 = 60.42 L
