Solution

Boyle's Law can be expressed as P1V1 = P2V2, where P1 and V1 are the initial pressure and volume, and P2 and V2 are the final pressure and volume.

Step 1: Identify the known values. P1 = 230 kPa V1 = 7 L V2 = 2 L

Step 2: Substitute the known values into the equation and solve for P2. 230 kPa * 7 L = P2 * 2 L

Step 3: Solve for P2. P2 = (230 kPa * 7 L) / 2 L = 805 kPa

So, the pressure when the volume is 2 L is 805 kPa.
