The answer to your question is V2 = 1.82 l

Explanation:

Data

Volume 1 = 77 l

Pressure 1 = 18 mmHg

Volume 2 = ?

Pressure 2 = 760 mmHg

Process

Use Boyle's law to solve this problem

P1V1 = P2V2

-Solve for V2

V2 = P1V1/P2

-Substitution

V2 = (18 x 77) / 760

-Simplification

V2 = 1386 / 760

-Result

V2 = 1.82 l
