Answer:

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
