Question

The volume of the ideal gas in the container is 9 m3. what would the volume be if four more blocks were placed on top of the lid of the container with the temperature of the gas kept constant? (the lid itself has a mass equal to that of two blocks.

Answer 1

4.5 m3

when the temperature of an ideal gas remains constant, the product of the pressure and volume of the gas is constant. Therefore, the volume the gas is inversely related to its pressure.
