Answer:

111 kPa

Step-by-step explanation:

The new pressure can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is


P_1V_1 = P_2V_2

where

P1 is the initial pressure

P2 is the final pressure

V1 is the initial volume

V2 is the final volume

Since we're finding the new pressure


P_2 = (P_1V_1)/(V_2) \\

We have


P_2 = (13 * 197000)/(23) = (2561000)/(23) \\ = 111347.826...

We have the final answer as

111 kPa

Hope this helps you
