320ml of nitrogen is kept in a cylinder at 273k under a pressure of 1atm.What will be the new volume of nitrogen if the pressure changes to 0.5atm?

According to ideal gas equation
PV = constant  &

P1V1 = P2V2

P1 = 1 atm P2 = 0.5 atm
V1 = 320 ml, V2 = ?

Hence 1 x  320 = 0.5 x V2
                     
V2 = 160 ml
