Gas Laws & Ideal Gas Equation

At constant temperature, increasing the pressure of a gas by 5%5\% its volume will decrease by

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Boyle's law: V∝1PV \propto \dfrac{1}{P} at constant TT.
  2. P′=1.05P⇒V′=V1.05=0.9524VP' = 1.05P \Rightarrow V' = \dfrac{V}{1.05} = 0.9524V
  3. Decrease ≈4.76%\approx 4.76\%, nearest option 4.70%4.70\%.
  4. So the answer is (d) 4.70%4.70\%.
