Option: 1

0.25 bar


Option: 2

0.42 bar


Option: 3

0.6 bar


Option: 4

0.8 bar

Step 1: Use the ideal gas law to calculate the initial number of moles \mathrm{\left(n_1\right)} of the gas.

\mathrm{ \begin{gathered} P V=n R T \\\\ n_1=\frac{1 \mathrm{bar} \times 2.5 \mathrm{~L}}{0.0831 \mathrm{~L} \cdot \mathrm{bar} / \mathrm{mol} \cdot \mathrm{K} \times 300 \mathrm{~K}} \approx 0.1004 \mathrm{~mol} \end{gathered} }

Step 2: For isothermal condition we can use the final volume \mathrm{\left(V_2\right)} and the initial number of moles \mathrm{\left(n_1\right)} to calculate the final pressure \mathrm{\left(P_2\right).}

\mathrm{ \begin{gathered} P_1 V_1=n_1 R T \\\\ P_2=\frac{n_1 R T}{V_2} \\\\ P_2=\frac{0.1004 \mathrm{~mol} \times 0.0831 \mathrm{~L} \cdot \mathrm{bar} / \mathrm{mol} \cdot \mathrm{K} \times 300 \mathrm{~K}}{10 \mathrm{~L}} \approx 0.2497 \mathrm{bar} \end{gathered} }

Therefore, the correct option is A.
