Answer:

The value of new volume of the gas will be 390. Liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the new volume, we use the equation given by Boyle's law. This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature.

The equation given by this law is:


P_1V_1=P_2V_2

where,


P_1\text{ and }V_1 are initial pressure and volume.


P_2\text{ and }V_2 are final pressure and volume.

We are given:


P_1=2.51 atm\\V_1=13.3 L\\P_2=65.0 mmHg \\V_2=?

1 atm = 760 mmHg


P_2=(65.0)/(760 mmHg)=0.0855 atm

Putting values in above equation, we get:


P_1V_1=P_2V_2


V_2=(P_1V_1)/(P_2)=(2.51 atm* 13.3 L)/(0.0855 atm)=390. L

The value of new volume of the gas will be 390. Liters.
