Answer:

the final volume of the gas is 1.923 L.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

initial pressure, P₁ = 8.4 atm

initial volume of the gas, V₁ = 1.9 L

final pressure of the gas, P₂ = 8.3 atm

The final volume of the gas is calculated by applying Boyle's law as follows;

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

V₂ = P₁V₁ / P₂

V₂ = (8.4 x 1.9) / 8.3

V₂ = 1.923 L

Therefore, the final volume of the gas is 1.923 L.
