17.44atm
According to Boyle's law, the pressure of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to its volume provided that the temperature is constant. Thiss expressed as:
[tex]\begin{gathered} P\alpha\frac{1}{V} \\ P=\frac{k}{V} \\ k=P_1V_1=P_2V_2 \end{gathered}[/tex]Substitute the given parameters
[tex]\begin{gathered} 132.2\times16.7=126.6P_2 \\ P_2=\frac{132.2\times16.7}{126.6} \\ p_2=\frac{2207.74}{126.6} \\ P_2=17.44atm \end{gathered}[/tex]
Hence the new pressure is 17.44atm
