Question

Boyle's law states that the pressure of a gas is always:

a. higher in the atmosphere than in the lungs.
b. directly proportional to temperature.
c. inversely proportional to temperature.
d. inversely proportional to the volume of its container.
e. directly proportional to the volume of its container.

Answer 1

Answer:

d. inversely proportional to the volume of its container.

Explanation:

Boyle's law  states that at constant temperature and number of moles, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas.

Thus, P ∝ T

P is the pressure

T is the temperature

For two gases at same temperature, the law can be written as:-

${P_1}\times {V_1}={P_2}\times {V_2}$

Thus, according to the question, the answer is:- d. inversely proportional to the volume of its container.
