Question

Which one of the following statements best describes Boyle's law?

• A. For a fixed mass of gas at constant pressure, its temperature is proportional to its volume.
• B. The temperature of fixed mass of gas at a constant pressure is inversely proportional to its volume.
• C. For a fixed volume of gas at a constant temperature, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to its mass.
• D. For fixed mass of gas at constant temperature, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to its volume.

Answer 1

The correct option is D

For fixed mass of gas at constant temperature, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to its volume.

According to Boyle's law- At constant temperature, the product of pressure and volume of given mass of gas is constant.
