<h3>Answer;</h3>

= 1.44 L

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

Boyle's law states that the volume of a fixed mass of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure at a constant temperature.

Mathematically;

P α 1/V

PV =constant 

Thus, P1V1 = P2V2 

P1 = 1.00 atm, V1 = 3.60 liters, V2 = ?, P2 = 2.50 atm

V2 = P1V1/P2

 = (1× 3.6)/2.5 

 = 1.44 L
