Textbook Question

Chapter 8.7, Problem 13CC

An 8-liter [L] container holds nitrogen (formula: N₂. molecular weight = 28 grams per mole [g/mol]) at a pressure of 1.5 atmospheres [atm] and a temperature of 310 kelvins [K]. If the gas is compressed by reduction of the volume of the container until the gas pressure increases to 5 atmospheres [atm] while the temperature and amount are held constant, what is the new volume of the container in units of liters [L]?
