In a thermodynamic process, if the volume of a gas is doubled while keeping the temperature constant, what happens to the pressure?
Correct Answer: Pressure halves
- Step 1: Understand that we are dealing with a gas in a thermodynamic process.
- Step 2: Know that Boyle's Law states that pressure and volume are inversely related when temperature is constant.
- Step 3: Remember that 'inversely related' means that if one goes up, the other goes down.
- Step 4: In this case, the volume of the gas is doubled.
- Step 5: Since the volume is doubled, the pressure must decrease.
- Step 6: Specifically, if the volume doubles, the pressure will be halved.
