The total pressure when the new equilibrium is stabilized is half of the initial pressure of the system.

The given chemical reaction at a stable equilibrium is,

2H₂O(g)+O₂(g) = 2H₂O₂(g)

According to the ideal gas equation,

PV = nRT

P is pressure,

V is volume,

n is moles

R is gas constant,

T is temperature.

Assuming the temperature is constant.

If the volume of the system is twice the initial volume then the total pressure at the new equilibrium can be found out as,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Where, P₁ and V₁ are initial volume and pressure while P₂ and V₂ are final pressure and volume.

If V₂ = 2V₁,

P₂ = P₁/2

So, the final total pressure will be half of the initial pressure.
