Word Problems: Ideal Gas Law

For ideal gas law word problems, it is beneficial to present the general ideal gas law equation
where:
•P1 = Initial Pressure
•V1 = Initial Volume
•T1 = Initial Temperature
•P2 = Final Pressure
•V2 = Final Volume
•T2 = Final Temperature
==Example 1==
An ideal gas possesses an initial pressure of 200 Newtons per square meter at a temperature of 1000 Kelvin. While holding the volume constant, the temperature is decreased to 400 Kelvin. What is the resultant pressure?
==Solution 1==
==Example 2==
Ten liters of an ideal gas possess an initial pressure of 100 Newtons per square meter at a temperature of 400 Kelvin. If the volume is decreased to five liters while raising the temperature to 600 Kelvin, what is the resultant pressure?
==Solution 2==
