A sample of ideal gas at room temperature occupies a volume of 16.0 l at a pressure of 572 torr . if the pressure changes to 2860 torr , with no change in the temperature or moles of gas, what is the new volume, v2?

the new volume is calculate using Boyles law formula that is P1V1 = P2V2


from the formula above V2 = P1 V1/P2
P1 =576 torr
V1= 16 l
P2= 2860 torr
V2= ?

v2 = 16l x572 torr/ 2860 torr = 3.2 l
