Question

If the volume of a gas increases by 5% , what will be the % decrease in pressure (given that temperature is kept constant ) . Use Boyles law​

Answer 1

Answer:

5%

Explanation:

According to Boyle's law, at constant temperature and constant no. of moles, volume is inversely proportional to pressure.

Hence, if volume increases by 5%, pressure decreases by 5%.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The volume of a given gas sample is directly proportional to its absolute temperature at constant pressure (Charles's law). The volume of a given amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure when temperature is held constant (Boyle's law).
