Answer:

The answer to your question is V2 = 23.52 l

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Volume 1 = V1 = 22.5 l

Pressure 1 = P1 = 734 mmHg

Volume 2 = V2 = ?

Pressure 2 = 702 mmHg

Process

To solve this problem use Boyle's law.

P1V1 = P2V2

-Solve for V2

V2 = P1V1 / P2

-Substitution

V2 = (734 x 22.5) / 702

-Simplification

V2 = 16515 / 702

-Result

V2 = 23.52 l

-Conclusion

If we diminish the pressure, the volume will be higher.
