Question

If volume decreases in a gas, what happens to pressure? pressure increases. pressure stays the same. pressure increases and then decreases. pressure decreases.

Answer 1

The answer is D. good luck!

Answer 2

Option A. Pressure increases.

Explanation:

As per Boyle's Law of gases

`P_(1)V_(1)=P_(2) V_(2)`

It means multiplication pressure and volume always remains constant.

If we increase the pressure, volume will decrease and when we increase the volume pressure decreases.

In other words pressure and volume are inversaly proportional.

Therefore, if volume decreases in a gas then pressure increases.
