Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If the volume of a gas is halved while keeping the temperature constant, what happens to the pressure?
  • Step 1: Understand Boyle's Law, which states that pressure and volume of a gas are inversely related when temperature is constant.
  • Step 2: Recognize that if the volume of the gas decreases (is halved), the pressure must increase to keep the relationship balanced.
  • Step 3: Since the volume is halved, the pressure will increase to double its original value.
