Question

• what will happen to volume of a fixed gas at a certain temp. & pressure

t is constant & pis decreased to1/4 of original value.

p is halved & t in kelvin is doubled

Answer 1

If T is constant & P is decreased to1/4 of original value then volume is increased by 4 times.

V₁/V₂ = P₂/P₁ = P/4P

V₂ = 4 V₁

If P is halved & T in kelvin is doubled, then volume is increased by 4 times.

Since, P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

V₂ = T₂P₁V₁/P₂T₁ = 2x2TPV₁/PT = 4 V₁
