Question

At a certain temperature the volume of gas sample
is 120 ml at one atmosphere pressure. Keeping
the temperature same the pressure is raised to
five atmospheres. The volume of the gas would
change to :
(a) 24 ml (b) 125 ml
(c) 300 ml (d) 600 ml

Answer 1

Answer:

(b) 125 ml

Explanation:

Answer 2

(a) 24 ml

Explanation:

We know that P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Substituting the given values, we get: 120 * 1 = 5 * V₂

So V₂ = 120 / 5

     = 24 ml

Volume of the gas would be reduced to 24ml when the pressure is 5 atm at constant temperature.

Hence option A is the correct answer.
