Answer:
The volume of the gas will be 573.52 mL.
Step-by-step explanation:
Boyle’s law states that the pressure of a fixed amount of gas at a constant temperature is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas.
The equation for Boyle's law is:
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
We want to know V₂, that is, the volume of the container after the compression. We rearrange the equation and calculate:
V₂ = P₁V₁ ÷ P₂
V₂ = 1.14 atm × 815 mL ÷ 1.62 atm = 573.52 mL
