Answer:

(b) 0.30 atm

Explanation:

Given data

Initial pressure= 1.2atm

Initial volume= 1.0L

Final volume= 4.0L

Final pressure= ???

Let us apply the gas formula to find the Final pressure

P1V1= P2V2

Substitute

1.2*1= x*4

Divide both sides by 4

1.2/4= x

x= 0.3atm

Hence the final pressure is 0.3 atm
