Answer:

volume of the gas is 5.0L

Explanation:

Using Boyle's law that state the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to volume of it occupies when temperature is constant, it is possible to write:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Where P is pressure, V is volume and 1 and 2 are initial and final states.

If initial volume is 2.5L, initial pressure is 2.0atm and 1.0atm is final pressure, final volume is:

2.0atm*2.5L = 1atm V₂

5.0L = V₂

Thus, volume of the gas is 5.0L.
