Question 4(HELP ASAP)
A gas with constant temperature has a pressure of 4 atm. This pressure changes to 0.2 atm, causing the volume to increase to 500 L. Based on the relationship between pressure and volume, what must have happened to the pressure?

1Points
A
Pressure decreased.

B
Pressured increased.

C
Pressure stayed the same.

D
Pressure trend can not be determined.

Respuesta :

The pressure decreases when the volume is increased given at the constant temperature. Thereby, here in the question, based upon the relationship, the [tex]P_{1} V_{1}=P_{2} V_{2}[/tex].

Answer: option A

Explanation:

According to the Boyle’s law, the pressure and volume are in inverse proportional ratio for their relationship to understand, when the temperature is kept constant at all times for establishing the relationship.

Therefore, as given, pressure decreases from 4 atm to 0.2 atm, which itself shows the decrease, while the volume has increased to 500 L, which must be initially 25 L. According to the equation of Boyle’s law,

                           [tex]P_{1} V_{1}=P_{2} V_{2}[/tex]
