Question

At constant temperature, the volume of the container that a sample of nitrogen gas is in is doubled. As a result the pressure of the nitrogen gas is halved. The amount of nitrogen gas is unchanged in this process. This is an example of:

A) Boyle's Law
B) Avogadro's Law
C) Charle's Law
D) Dalton's Law
E) Gay-Lussac's Law

Answer 1

A) Boyle's Law

Step-by-step explanation:

Boyle's Law states that pressure is inversely proportional to volume if the temperature and volume remain constant in closed system

`{P}=(1)/(V)`

`{P_1}* {V_1}={P_2}* {V_2}`

As it is seen here the volume and temperature remain constant but the volume of the container is doubled.

So, this is an example of Boyle's Law.
