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

Answer:

C

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
