Question

The pressure of a gas at constant temperature is increased by a factor od 4. By what factor does the volume change?

A 1/4
B 1/2
C 1
D 4

Answer 1

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula used is

PV = P1 * V1

P = x

P1 = 4x

V1 = 1

V2 = ?

x * 1 = 4x * V2 Divide both sides by x

x/x = 4x /x * V2

1 = 4*V2 Divide by 4

1/4 = 4*V2/4

1/4 = V2

The answer is A
