A 5.2 litre baloon at 900 torr of pressure. If the temp is kept constant and the pressure is reduced to 200 torr what is the voume in the balloon?

Is this a trick question? My instinct is to say the volume is the same, 5.2 litres.

Probably it isn't a trick question.
p1v1 = p2v2
You know p1 and v1 and p2, solve for v2.
