Answer:
170 L
Explanation:
Boyles laws states that the pressure exerted by a gas is directly proportional to the volume it occupies provided that the temperature is held constant. Boyles law is given by:
PV = constant
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
Given that the initial volume V₁ = 200 L, initial pressure P₁ = 850 atm, final volume V₂ = 1000 atm and final pressure = P₂.
Applying Boyles law gives:
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
850(200) = 1000(V₂)
V₂ = 170 L
