Well $P_{1} V_{1} = P_{2} V_{2}$ $P_1V_1=P_2V_2$ ....so $V_{2} = 3.0 \cdot L$ $V_2=3.0*L$

Explanation:

Old $Boyle's Law$ $"Boyle's Law"$ holds that for a given quantity gas, $P \propto \frac{1}{V}$ $Pprop1/V$ , and thus $P = \frac{k}{V}$ $P=k/V$ , where $k$ $k$ is some (unspecified!) constant.

And if we solve for $k$ $k$ under different conditions of pressure and volume (with temperature CONSTANT!), then.......

$V_{2} = \frac{P_{1} \times V_{1}}{P_{2}} = \frac{5 \cdot L \times 124 \cdot k P a}{206 \cdot k P a} = 3.00 \cdot L$ $V_2=(P_1xxV_1)/(P_2)=(5*Lxx124*kPa)/(206*kPa)=3.00*L$

Is this answer consistent with the parameters of the problem? Should volume DECREASE with INCREASED pressure?
