Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a closed system, if the volume of gas is halved at constant temperature, what happens to the pressure?
  • Step 1: Understand that we have a closed system with gas inside it.
  • Step 2: Know that Boyle's law states that pressure and volume are inversely related when temperature is constant.
  • Step 3: Remember that if the volume decreases, the pressure must increase to keep the product of pressure and volume constant.
  • Step 4: If the volume is halved, it means the new volume is half of the original volume.
  • Step 5: Since the volume is halved, the pressure must double to maintain the relationship defined by Boyle's law.
