This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

The Figure shows a container that is sealed at the top by a moveable piston, Inside the container is an ideal gas at 1.00 atm. 20.0°C and 1.00 L.

"What will the pressure inside the container become if the piston is moved to the 1.60 L mark while the temperature of the gas is kept constant?"

Answer:

the pressure inside the container become 0.625 atm if the piston is moved to the 1.60 L mark while the temperature of the gas is kept constant

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

P₁ = 1.00 atm

P₂ = ?

V₁ = 1 L

V₂ = 1.60 L

the temperature of the gas is kept constant

we know that;

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

so we substitute

1 × 1 = P₂ × 1.60

P₂ = 1 / 1.60

P₂ = 0.625 atm

Therefore the pressure inside the container become 0.625 atm if the piston is moved to the 1.60 L mark while the temperature of the gas is kept constant
