Answer

73.5 mL

Work Step by Step

$V_{1}=45.0\,mL$ $P_{1}=1.60\,atm= 1.60\,atm\times\frac{760\, mmHg}{1\,atm}$ $=1216\, mmHg$ $P_{2}=744\,mmHg$ $T$ and $n$ are constant. Boyle's law states that if temperature and amount of gas are constant, $P_{1}V_{1}=P_{2}V_{2}$ $\implies V_{2}=\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{P_{2}}=\frac{1216\,mmHg\times45.0\,mL}{744\,mmHg}$ $=73.5\,mL$
