Answer

$V_2=0.69L$ $P_2=61atm$

Work Step by Step

We can determine the required pressure and volume , according to Boyle's law as follows: $P_1V_1=P_2V_2$ This can be rearranged as $V_2=\frac{P_1V_1}{P_2}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $V_2=\frac{1.2\times 3.8}{6.6}$ This simplifies to: $V_2=0.69L$ Now, $P_2$ can be calculated as $P_2=\frac{P_1V_1}{V_2}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $P_2=\frac{1.2\times 3.8}{0.075}$ This simplifies to: $P_2=61atm$
