According to Boyle's Law (P1V1 = P2V2), the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional at constant temperature. Using the initial conditions (P1 = 735 torr, V1 = 0.847 m³) and the final volume (V2 = 0.905 m³), we can solve for the final pressure (P2): P2 = (P1 * V1) / V2 = (735 torr * 0.847 m³) / 0.905 m³ = 688 torr.
