Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

According to Boyle's law, if the volume of a gas is doubled at constant temperature, what happens to the pressure?
  • Step 1: Understand Boyle's law, which says that pressure (P) and volume (V) of a gas are related when temperature is constant.
  • Step 2: Remember that Boyle's law states that if you increase the volume of a gas, the pressure decreases, and vice versa.
  • Step 3: If the volume of the gas is doubled, it means the new volume is 2 times the original volume.
  • Step 4: Since pressure and volume are inversely related, if the volume increases, the pressure must decrease.
  • Step 5: Specifically, if the volume is doubled, the pressure will be halved.
  • Boyle's Law – Boyle's law describes the inverse relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas at constant temperature.
