Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the relevant law

Boyle's law $P_1V_1 = P_2V_2$ is used as $n$ and $T$ are constant.

Step2: Rearrange the formula for $P_1$

$P_1=\frac{P_2V_2}{V_1}$

Step3: Substitute the given values

$P_1=\frac{715.1\ \text{torr}\times1.204\ \text{L}}{0.5650\ \text{L}}$ $P_1=\frac{860.0804\ \text{torr}\cdot\text{L}}{0.5650\ \text{L}}$ $P_1 = 1522.3$ torr

Answer:

1522.3 torr
