Answer:

2487.51.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per Boyle's law temperature remaining constant the volume of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.

pV= k

therefore, p1V1 = p2V2

here V1 = 25.3, p2 = 8.04mm Hg

pressure p1 = 790.5 mm Hg

this means that

25.3×790.5 = 8.04V2

⇒V2= 2487.51

Hence, the required volume is, 2487.51.
