Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a closed system, if the volume of the gas is doubled 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 increases, the pressure must decrease to keep the product of pressure and volume constant.
  • Step 4: If the volume of the gas is doubled, it means the new volume is twice the original volume.
  • Step 5: Since the volume is doubled, the pressure will be halved to maintain the balance according to Boyle's Law.
