Answer

6.08 mL

Work Step by Step

$P_{1}=0.80\,atm= 0.80\,atm\times\frac{760\,mmHg}{1\,atm}$$=608\,mmHg$ $V_{1}=25\,mL$ $P_{2}=2500\,mmHg$ Recall that $P_{1}V_{1}=P_{2}V_{2}$ (if $n$ and $T$ are constant) $\implies V_{2}=\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{P_{2}}=\frac{608\,mmHg\times 25\,mL}{2500\,mmHg}=6.08\,mL$
