Question

When a gas is compressed keeping the temperature constant it results in

Answer 1

Boyle's law:

• According to Boyle's law, “at a constant temperature, the volume of a gas varies inversely with the pressure exerted.”

Compression of gas at a constant temperature:

• If a gas is compressed at a constant temperature, the pressure on the gas increases and the volume decreases according to Boyle's law.
• Therefore, the gas molecules do not have much space for motion. Thus, more collisions between gas molecules take place.
