Question

Which statement about the volume and pressure of a gas is the most accurate? Volume of a gas is equal to pressure of that gas in any container. Volume of a gas is always greater than pressure of that gas in any container. Volume of a gas is directly proportional to pressure of that gas in any container. Volume of a gas is inversely proportional to pressure of that gas in any container.

Answer 1

Volume of a gas is inversely proportional to pressure of that gas in any container.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Boyle's law which states that at constant absolute temperature, the fixed volume of a given gas is inversely proportional to the pressure it exerts on.

P = k/V

Where,

K = proportionality constany

P = pressure in mmhg, Pa, atm etc.

V = volume in m^3, liters etc.

P1 × V1 = P2 × V2

Answer 2

Answer: Volume of a gas is inversely proportional to pressure of that gas in any container.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, according to Boyle's Gas law, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure of that gas, at a constant temperature.

The expression is:

P1.V1= P2.V2

V= 1/P

PV = k

Where:

P = pressure of a gas

V = volume of a gas

k = constant
