Answer

$P_{2}=275kPa$

Work Step by Step

Knowing that: $T_{1}=T_{2}$ $m_{1}=m_{2}$ $V_{2}=2V_{1}$ From ideal gas law: $T=\frac{PV}{mT}$ Then: $\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{m_{1}T_{1}}=\frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{m_{2}T_{2}}$ Substituting and simplifying: $P_{1}V_{1}=P_{2}*2V_{1}$ Solving for P_{2}: $P_{2}=\frac{P_{1}}{2}=\frac{550kPa}{2}=275kPa$
