First you made a typo. You should have written P1V1 = P2V2
Second, I don't understand your problem. All you need to do is to substitute the values in the problem and solve the equation. Here goes.
P1V1 = P2V2
P1 = 1 atm
V1 = 300 L He gas
P2 = unknown pressure in atm. Solve for this.
V2 = 2 L
Plug those values in and solve for P2
P2 = ?
Post your work if you get stuck.
Once you've identified the initial and final conditions, you're ready to solve for the unknown quantity in your problem. Boyle's Law expresses the pressure-volume relationship as P Vi = BV2, so you will need to solve this equation for the unknown quantity and then plug in your known values to calculate the unknown. What pressure would it take to compress 300. L of helium gas initially at 1.00 atm into a 2.00 L tank at constant temperature
