Expert Solution
Step 1

Since there are multiple questions being posted, we are answering the first question.

As the temperature remains constant, the Boyle’s law is given by

P1V1=P2V2P2=P1V1V2

Substitute 2.91atm for P1640mL for V1, and  3.58L for V2 in the above equation.

P2=2.91atm640mL×10-3L1mL3.58L=0.520atm
