    A = 0.617atm

    Explanation:

    V1 = 22.4L

    P1 = 0.265atm

    P2 = ?

    V2 = 35.52L

    To solve this question, we'll use Boyle's law which states that the volume of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure provided that temperature remains constant.

    Mathematically,

    P1V1 = P2V2 = P3V3 = ... = PnVn

    P1V1 = P2V2

    Solving for P2

    P2 = (P1 * V1) / V2

    P2 = (0.265 * 22.4) / 35.52

    P2 = 0.1671atm

    Pressure of the gas is 0.1671atm
