A fixed amount of a gas occupies a volume of 4L and exerts a pressure of 410 kPa on the walls of its container. What would be the pressure exerted by the gas if it is completely transferred into a new container having a volume of 9 liters (assuming the temperature and quantity of gas remains constant)?

Solve with clear solution.
A fixed amount of a gas occupies a volume of 4L and exerts a
pressure of 410 kPa on the walls of its container. What would be the
pressure exerted by the gas if it is completely transferred into a new
container having a volume of 9 liters (assuming the temperature and
quantity of gas remains constant)?
Solution:
As per Boyle's law,
Given,
P1V1 = P2V2 P2 = (P1V1)/V2
Initial volume (V1) = 4L
Initial pressure (P1) = 410 kPa
%3D
Final volume (V2) = 9L
