In order to increase the volume of a gas by $10$%, the pressure of the gas should be:

• A. increased by $10$%
• B. increased by $1$%
• C. decreased by $10$%
• D. decreased by $1$%

Answer 1

The correct option is C decreased by $10$%

Volume is inversely proposed to pressure based on the boyle's law. So, to increase the volume of a gas by 10%, the pressure of the gas should be decreased by 10%. Hence, option C is correct.
