Question

What does Boyle's Law state about the relationship between the pressure and volume of an ideal gas at constant temperature?

a) The product of pressure and volume increases as pressure decreases.
b) The sum of pressure and volume is constant.
c) The sum of product and volume decreases as volume increases.
d) The product of pressure and volume is constant.

Answer 1

Option (d).

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Boyle's law, for a given mass of a gas, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas keeping the temperature of the gas is constant.

So,

Let the pressure is P, volume is V and T is the absolute temperature of the gas.

Pressure proportional to the reciprocal of the volume.

`P \alpha (1)/(V)\\\\P V = constant`

The correct option is (d).
