    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
