Answer:

2 L

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question

Applying boyles law,

PV = P'V'....................... Equation 1

Where P = Initial pressure, P' = Final Pressure, V = Initial Volume, V' = Final Volume.

make V' the subject of the equation

V' = PV/P'.................... Equation 2

Givne: V = 5 L, P = 500 mmHg, P' = 1240 mmHg

Substitute these values into equation 2

V' = (5×500)/1240

V' = 2500/1240

V' = 2 L
