Answer:

The answer is 2.90 L

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the original pressure , 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 original volume


V_1 = (P_2V_2)/(P_1) \\

From the question

P1 = 250020 Pa

P2 = 120870 Pa

V2 = 6 L

We have


V_1 = (120870 * 6)/(250020) = (725220)/(250020) \\ = 2.90064794...

We have the final answer as

2.90 L

Hope this helps you
