Question

If the pressure is doubled for a fixed mass of a gas at constant temperature, What will be the effect on its volume?

• A. 4 times
• B. $\frac{1}{2}$
• C. 2 times
• D. No change

Answer 1

The correct option is B

$\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{P_1{V}_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2{V}_2}{T_2}$

$P_1{V}_1=P_2{V}_2$

$P{V}_1=2P{V}_2$

$V_2=\frac{1}{2}$
