Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the new volume we use 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 are finding the new volume

$V_2 = (P_1V_1)/(P_2) \\$

From the question

P1 = 6.3 atm

V1 = 9 mL

P2 = 2.4 atm

So we have

$V_2 = (6.3 * 9)/(2.4) \\ = 23.625$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
