At 46°C a sample of ammonia gas exerts a pressure of 5.3 atm. What is the pressure when the volume of the gas?
At 46°C a sample of ammonia gas exerts a pressure of 5.3 atm. What is the pressure when the volume of the gas is reduced to one-eighth (0.125) of the original value at the same temperature?
Note that I simply assumed two volumes such that V2 would be 1/8 the value of the volume for V1. Any two numbers would work, the only constraint being that the V2 value must be 1/8 that of V1.

Boyle's Law.
P1V1 = P2V2
(5.3 arm) (1.00 L) = (x) (0.125 L)
solve for x.
