Answer:

A. V2=P1V1/P2

Step-by-step explanation:

Robert Boyle law stated that pressure of a particular quantity of basis inversely varies with respect to the volume provided that the temperature is constant. It is expressed as

PiV1 = P2V2,

Where

V2= final volume

V1= initial volume

P1= initial pressure

P2= final pressure

Making V2 subject of formula we have

V2=P1V1/P2
