Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What happens to the volume of a gas when the pressure is increased at constant temperature?
  • Step 1: Understand that gases take up space and have volume.
  • Step 2: Know that pressure is the force applied to the gas in a container.
  • Step 3: Remember that Boyle's Law states that pressure and volume are related when temperature is constant.
  • Step 4: When you increase the pressure on a gas, the gas particles are pushed closer together.
  • Step 5: As the gas particles get closer, the volume of the gas decreases.
  • Step 6: Therefore, if you increase the pressure, the volume of the gas will decrease.
