Question

In a closed bottle, the product of the pressure and volume is constant. By what percent mist the volume be decreased to increse the pressure by 25%?

Answer 1

Answer: This is known as Gay-Lussac's Law.

The relationship states that the pressure and volume of a gas are directly proportional at constant temperature. Therefore, if the pressure is increased by 25%, the volume must be decreased by 25% to maintain the constant product of pressure and volume.
