Using Law: PV = nRT we can calculate P (pressure)
But this law becomes P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2 for one compound under different conditions
T1 = T2 = const, so P1V1 = P2V2
P1 = 1 atm (STP), so P2 = P1V1/V2 = 1*50.0/1.0 = 50 atm

Dear Aaditya if the volume is 2.0 ml P1 = 1 atm (STP), so P2 = P1V1/V2 = 1*50.0/2.0 = 25 atm
what if the volume is 2.0 ml
