Question

How much should the pressure be increased in order to decrease the volume of a gas by five percent at a constant temperature
5%
5.2 %

Answer 1

Dear student,

Equation

P1V1 = P2V2 (@ constant temperature)

substituting the values in percentage.

suppose if the initial values of pressure and volume are taken as 100% each, then

100×100 =P2× 95

P2=10,000/95
P2 = 105.26 units
The pressure must be increased by 5.26%

Hope it helps you

Best wishes!
