Question

If the pressure is doubles and the temperature is held constant what will happen to the volume of a gas?

Group of answer choices

A. Quadrupled

B. Doubled

C. Reduced by Half

D. Reduced by a Fourth

Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Of course increasing the pressure will reduce the volume

P1V1 = P2V2

P1V1/P2 = V2 WHEN P2 = 2 P1----multiply both sides by 1/2

P1 V1 / 2P1 = 1/2 V2 <===== 1/2 the original
