Answer:

<h2>7.65 litres </h2>

Explanation:

The new volume can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

$P_1V_1 = P_2V_2$

Since we're finding the new volume

$V_2 = \frac{P_1V_1}{P_2} \\$

15 kPa = 15,000 Pa

50 kPa = 50,000 Pa

We have

$V_2 = \frac{15000 \times 25.5}{50000} = \frac{382500}{50000} \\ = 7.65$

We have the final answer as

<h3>7.65 litres </h3>

Hope this helps you
