Question

51. What should be the percentage increase in the
pressure so that the volume of a gas may
decrease by 5% at constant temperature ?
1) 5% 2) 10% 3) 5.26% 4) 4.26%
please tell me step by step​

Answer 1

Explanation:

1 ) According to Boyle's law ("The pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature.") ∴ The pressure should be increased by 5.26% in order to decrease the volume of a gas by 5% at a constant temperature.
