Question

Temperature remaining constant,, the pressure of gas is increased by20%,,then %change in Volume

Answer 1

Dear student,

At constant T, according to Boyle’s law:
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂ -------(1)
Assume;
P₁ = 100
P₂ = increases 20 % = 100 +20 = 120
V₁ = V
V₂ = Need to calculate
Plug the values in equation (1)
100 x V = 120 x V₂
V₂ = 100 V / 120 = 0.83 V
Hence volume is reduced to 0.83 of initial volume.
