    We can use the principle of Boyle’s law to calculate the new pressure. Boyle’s law is the piece of the Combined Gas Law that relates pressure and volume:

    P1V1=P2V2

    STP tells that the standard pressure is 1 atmosphere (P1), and that the 3.52 L (V1) is being compressed to 1.24 (V2).

    (1) (3.52) = P2 (1.24)

    Solving for P2:

    P2 = 3.52/1.24

    P2=2.839

    The new pressure of the compressed system is equal to 2.839 atmospheres.
