Answer:

The final volume when pressure is changed is 126.1mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on Boyle's law, in a gas the volume is inversely proportional to its pressure when temperature remains constant. The equation is:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Where P is pressure and V volume of 1, intial state and 2, final state.

Computing the values of the problem:

350mmHg*200mL = 555mmHgV₂

126.1mmHg = V₂

The final volume when pressure is changed is 126.1mL
