The answer to your question is V2 = 66.7 ml

Explanation:

Data

Volume 1 = V1 = 400 ml

Pressure 1 = P1 = 1 atm

Volume 2 = V2 = ?

Pressure 2 = P2 = 6 atm

Process

1. - To solve this problem use Boyle's law

P1V1 = P2V2

-solve for V2

V2 = P1V1 / P2

-Substitution

V2 = (1) (400) / 6

-Simplification

V2 = 400 / 6

-Result

V2 = 66.7 ml
