Answer:

The answer to your question is   V2 = 0.203 kPa

Explanation:

Data

Volume 1 = V1 = 1l

Pressure 1 = P1 = 101.3 kPa

Volume 2= V2 = ?

Pressure 2 = 500 kPa

Process

- Use the Boyle's law to solve this problem

               P1V1 = P2V2

-Solve for V2

              V2 = P1V1/P2

-Substitution

             V2 = (101.3 x 1) / 500

-Simplification

            V2 = 101.3 / 500

-Result

            V2 = 0.203 kPa
