Solution

This problem can be solved using Boyle's Law, which states that the pressure and volume of a gas have an inverse relationship when temperature is held constant.

Boyle's Law formula is P1V1 = P2V2, where:

P1 = initial pressure V1 = initial volume P2 = final pressure V2 = final volume

Given in the problem:

P1 = 4.00 atm (initial pressure) V1 = 500 L (initial volume) P2 = 8 atm (final pressure) V2 = ? (final volume we're solving for)

Substitute the known values into Boyle's Law:

(4.00 atm * 500 L) = (8 atm * V2)

Solving for V2 gives:

V2 = (4.00 atm * 500 L) / 8 atm = 250 L

So, the new volume of the gas, if the pressure were changed to 8 atm, would be 250 L.
