Question

If the volume of 1.00 mole of gas is tripled, what will happen to the pressure, if the temperature remains constant

Answer 1

The new pressure becomes one third of the initial pressure.

Step-by-step explanation:

The relation between pressure and volume at constant temperature is given by :

`P\propto (1)/(V)\\\\P=(1)/(V)`

Let new pressure and volume be P' and V' respectively.

V'=3V (given)

So,

`P'=(1)/(V')\\\\=(1)/(3V)\\\\=(1)/(3)* (1)/(V)\\\\P'=(1)/(3)* P`

Hence, new pressure becomes one third of the initial pressure.
