 A certain gas occupies 25.3 mL at a pressure of 790.5 mm Hg. Determine the volume if the pressure is reduced to 740.5 mm Hg when the temperature is kept constant.

Note that two volumes and two pressures are involved. This means that you have a Boyle's Law problem. Use this:

P1V1 = P2V2

to solve the problem.

The unknown will be V2 and its unit will be mL.
