Answer:
Half as much as it was
Step-by-step explanation:
According to Charles law
PV = k
P is the pressure
V is the volume
If PV= k, then P1V1= P2V2
P1 and P2 are the initial and final pressure respectively
V1 and V2 are the initial and final volume respectively
Given
V1 =11.2litres
P1 = 0.860atm
If the volume is doubled, V2 = 2(11.2) = 22.4litres
Get P2
P2 = P1V1/V2
P2 = 0.860×11.2/22.4
P2 = 0.860/2
P2 = P1/2 (since P1 =0.860)
P2 = 1/2 P1
Hence the pressure becomes halved if the volume is doubled
