An ideal gas sample in a sealed cylinder with a movable piston undergoes an isothermal expansion at a constant temperature of $300\text{ K}$. If the volume of the gas increases from $2.0\text{ L}$ to $6.0\text{ L}$ and the initial pressure was $3.0\text{ atm}$, what is the final pressure of the gas? (Boyle's Law: $P_1 V_1 = P_2 V_2$ at constant temperature)

Volume tripled ($2 \rightarrow 6$), so pressure must be divided by 3: $3.0 / 3 = 1.0\text{ atm}$.

Masterclass Solution & Distractor Trap Analysis

Apply Boyle's Law: $P_1 V_1 = P_2 V_2$. $$(3.0\text{ atm})(2.0\text{ L}) = P_2(6.0\text{ L}) \implies 6.0 = 6.0 P_2 \implies P_2 = 1.0\text{ atm}.$$...
