The new volume occupied by the gas is 1.2 m³.

Here Boyle's law is applied.

<h3>What is Boyle's law?</h3>

At a constant temperature, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure exerted on it.

PV = constant

where,

P = Pressure applied

V = Volume of the gas

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

Given,

P₁ = 5.0 atm

V₁ = 0.60 m³

P₂ = 2.5 atm

To find

V₂ =?

As PV = constant

Therefore,

P₁ V₁ = P₂ V₂

5 × 0.6 = 2.5 × V₂

3 = 2.5 × V₂

V₂ = 3/2.5

V₂ = 1.2 m³

Hence, the new volume occupied by the gas is 1.2 m³.
