A gas sample contained in cylinder equipped with a moveable piston occupied 300.0 mL at a pressure of 20.0 atm. what would be the final pressure if the volume were increased to 500.0 mL at constant temperature?

P1 × V1 = P2 × V2
20 × 300 = P2 × 500
6000 = P2 × 500
12 = P2

The final pressure is 12.0 atm.
