In this question, we have a situation described by the Boyle's law, which is an experimental gas law that calculates changes in volume and pressure in constant temperature, the formula for this law is:

P1V1 = P2V2

Where:

P1 = initial pressure, 0.327 atm

V1 = initial volume, 5.13 Liters

P2 = final pressure, 852 mmHg, which in atm is = 1.12 atm

V2 = final volume, ?

Now we add these values into the formula;

0.327 * 5.13 = 1.12 * V2

1.677 = 1.12V2

V2 = 1.677/1.12

V2 = 1.5 Liters is the new volume
