A sample of an ideal gas has its volume doubled while its temperature remains constant. If the original pressure was 100 torr, the new pressure is 50 torr.
We have a sample of an ideal gas with a defined volume (V₁) at a certain pressure (P₁ = 100 torr) and temperature. While maintaining the temperature constant, the volume is doubled (V₂ = 2 V₁). We can calculate the new pressure (P₂) using Boyle's law, which states there is an inverse relationship between pressure and volume of an ideal gas.
[tex]P_1 \times V_1 = P_2 \times V_2\\P_2 = \frac{P_1 \times V_1}{V_2} =\frac{P_1 \times V_1}{ 2V_1}= \frac{P_1}{2} = \frac{100torr}{2} = 50torr[/tex]
