The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we can use the ideal gas law, which states that: \[ PV = nRT \] Where: - \( P \) = pressure - \( V \) = volume - \( n \) = number of moles of gas (constant in this case) - \( R \) = universal gas constant - \( T \) = temperature ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Initial Conditions:** Let the initial volume be \( V \), the initial temperature be \( T \), and the initial pressure be \( P \). 2. **Determine Final Conditions:** - The volume is increased to \( 2V \) (doubled). - The temperature is decreased to \( \frac{T}{2} \) (half of the initial temperature). 3. **Apply the Ideal Gas Law:** According to the ideal gas law for the initial state: \[ P V = n R T \] For the final state, we have: \[ P_2 (2V) = n R \left(\frac{T}{2}\right) \] 4. **Set Up the Equation:** We can express the final pressure \( P_2 \) in terms of the initial pressure \( P \): \[ P_2 (2V) = n R \left(\frac{T}{2}\right) \] 5. **Rearranging the Equation:** From the initial condition, we know: \[ n R = P V / T \] Substitute this into the final state equation: \[ P_2 (2V) = \left(\frac{P V}{T}\right) \left(\frac{T}{2}\right) \] 6. **Simplifying:** \[ P_2 (2V) = \frac{P V}{2} \] Divide both sides by \( 2V \): \[ P_2 = \frac{P}{4} \] 7. **Conclusion:** Thus, the final pressure \( P_2 \) becomes: \[ P_2 = \frac{P}{4} \] ### Final Answer: The pressure becomes \( \frac{1}{4} \) of its initial value. ---
