The Correct Option is

Solution and Explanation

To solve this problem, we use Boyle's Law, which states: 

\( P_1 V_1 = P_2 V_2 \)

Given:

  • \( P_1 = 1 \) bar
  • \( V_1 = 500 \) mL = 0.5 L
  • \( V_2 = 1 \) L (maximum volume)

We substitute the values into the formula:

\( 1 \times 0.5 = P_2 \times 1 \)

Solving for \( P_2 \): 
\( P_2 = \frac{0.5}{1} = 0.5 \) bar

Final Answer:

0.5 bar
