Gas Laws & Ideal Gas Equation

Temperature remaining constant, the pressure of gas is decreased by 20%20\%. The percentage change in volume is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Boyle's law: V∝1PV \propto \dfrac{1}{P} at constant TT.
  2. P′=0.8P⇒V′=V0.8=1.25VP' = 0.8P \Rightarrow V' = \dfrac{V}{0.8} = 1.25V
  3. So the answer is (c): volume increases by 25%25\%.
