Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the effect of increasing pressure on a gas at constant temperature? (2014)
  • Step 1: Understand that we are looking at a gas and its behavior when pressure changes.
  • Step 2: Remember that we are keeping the temperature constant while changing the pressure.
  • Step 3: Recall Boyle's Law, which states that for a given amount of gas at constant temperature, the pressure and volume are inversely related.
  • Step 4: This means that if you increase the pressure on the gas, the volume must decrease.
  • Step 5: Conclude that increasing pressure on a gas at constant temperature results in a decrease in its volume.
