In this question, we have a gas presenting volume and pressure, and the gas law that we can use to calculate it is Boyle's gas Law, which perfectly correlates both pressure and volume, the formula is:

P1V1 = P2V2

We have:

P1 = 27.5 atm

V1 = 103.4 L

P2 = 69.3 atm

V2 = ?

Now we add these values into the formula:

27.5 * 103.4 = 69.3 * V2

V2 = 41.0 L
