Question

10.
The pressure P and volume V of a gas are
related as PV3/2 = K where K is a constant. The
percentage increase in the pressure for a
diminution of 0.5% of the volume is
(1) 0.25%
(2) 0.75%
(3) 1.50%
(4) 0.50%​

Answer 1

Answer:

(4) 0.50%

Explanation:

Since PV3/2 = K

What ever the amount by which the volume has reduced must be equal to the amount by which the pressure has increased.

∴ Percentage increase in the pressure will also be the same (0.5%)
