Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What happens to the volume of a gas when the pressure is doubled at constant temperature?
  • Step 1: Understand Boyle's Law, which states that pressure and volume of a gas are inversely related when temperature is constant.
  • Step 2: If the pressure of the gas is doubled, it means the pressure increases to 2 times its original value.
  • Step 3: Since pressure and volume are inversely related, if pressure goes up, volume must go down.
  • Step 4: To find the new volume, remember that if pressure is doubled, the volume will be halved.
  • Step 5: Therefore, when the pressure is doubled, the volume of the gas becomes half of its original volume.
