    P₂ = 20.5 torr

    Explanation:

    Given dа ta:

    Volume of tank = 15.0 L

    Pressure of tank = 8.20*10⁴ torr

    Final volume of tank = 6.00*10⁴ L

    Final pressure = ?

    Solution:

    The given problem will be solved through the Boly's law,

    "The volume of given amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure by keeping the temperature and number of moles constant"

    Mathematical expression:

    P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

    P₁ = Initial pressure

    V₁ = initial volume

    P₂ = final pressure

    V₂ = final volume

    Now we will put the values in formula,

    P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

    8.20*10⁴ torr * 15.0 L = P₂ * 6.00*10⁴ L

    P₂ = 8.20*10⁴ torr * 15.0 L / 6.00*10⁴ L

    P₂ = 123*10⁴ torr. L / 6.00*10⁴ L

    P₂ = 20.5 torr
