Question

PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Boyle's law is :
p1 v1 = p2 v2

what happens to the pressure of a container if the volume is doubled and the temperature is kept the same?

- impossible to determine with the info provided

- the pressure will increase

- the pressure will decrease

- the pressure will stay the same

Answer 1

- the pressure will decrease

(volume is doubled ,the pressure reduced by half).

Explanation:

P_1 V_1=P_2 V_2

This equation shows that, as volume increases, the pressure of the gas decreases in proportion.

Similarly, as volume decreases, the pressure of the gas increases.
