6.36 L

Explanation:

* I am going to assume that you mean a 11.0 L sample of Cl_2 gas

To find the final volume of chlorine gas we can use Boyle's Law:

Based on the information you've given me, we know the following variables:

P_1 = 26.0 atm
V_1 = 11.0 L
P_2 = 45.0 atm
V_2 = x

Since we don't know what V_2 is, the equation has to be rearranged by dividing both sides by P_2 to get V_2 by itself:

V_2 = (P_1xxV_1)/P_2

Now, just plug the given values into the equation:

V_2 = (26.0 cancel"atm" xx11.0L)/(45.0cancel"atm")

V_2 = 6.36 L
