Question

Which statement accurately represents the relationship between pressure and volume? As pressure increases, volume increases. As pressure decreases, volume decreases. As pressure increases, volume decreases. As pressure increases, volume stays constant.

Answer 1

C.As pressure increases, volume decreases.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: As pressure increases, volume decreases

Explanation:

Boyle's Law: This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

`P\propto (1)/(V)` (At constant temperature and number of moles)

`P_1V_1=P_2V_2`

where,

`P_1` = initial pressure of gas

`P_2` = final pressure of gas

`V_1` = initial volume of gas

`V_2` = final volume of gas

Therefore, when pressure increases , volume decreases and vice versa.
