    Answer:

    0.89 L

    Explanation:

    Applying,

    Boyle’s Law,

    PV = P’V’………………… Equation 1

    P represent initial pressure, V represent initial volume, P’ represent final pressure, V’ represent final volume

    Make V’ the subject of the equation

    V’ = PV/P’………….. Equation 2

    From the question,

    Given: P = 150 mm Hg, V = 4.31 liters, P’ = 725 mm Hg

    Substitute these values into equation 2

    V’ = (150×4.31)/725

    V’ = 0.89 L
