Probably Sulfur, low mp and hardness compared to the other metals
Answer is: volume will be 3.97 liters.
Boyle's Law: the pressure volume law - volume of a given amount of gas held varies inversely with the applied pressure when the temperature and mass are constant.
p₁V₁ = p₂V₂.
p₁ = 755 torr.
V₁ = 5.00 l.
p₂ = 1.25 atm · 760 torr/atm.
p₂ = 950 torr.
755 torr · 5 l = 950 torr · V₂.
V₂ = 755 torr · 5 l / 950 torr.
V₂ = 3.97 l.
When pressure goes up, volume goes down.
When volume goes up, pressure goes down.
