    We can use something called Boyle's law. This states that the product of the volume and pressure is constant. This means that we can set the product of initial pressure and volume equal to the product of the final pressure and volume. The equation is:

    P1*V1 = P2*V2

    We know that:

    V1 = 338L

    P2 = Standard Pressure 1 atm

    V2 = 294L

    If we set up our equation, we can solve for P1 as:

    P1 = P2*V2/V1

    P1 = 1 atm * 294L / 338 L = 0.870 atm

    Therefore:

    The initial pressure (P1) is 0.870 atm
