Detailed Solution

PV=nRT

If the pressure were one-ninth the initial gas's pressure and half the amount of hydrogen occupied the space at thrice the absolute temperature,

Because the molar mass is the same both times, the initial number of moles is half that of the final number.

V1=n1RT1P1=30ml1

Again,

P2V2=n2RT2

 So p19×V=n12×R×3T12

From 1 and 2 equation 

V=9×30×32=405mL
