If the volume of a container of gas is reduced, what will happen to the pressure inside the container?
a. The pressure will increase.
b. The pressure will not change.
c. The pressure will decrease.
d. The pressure depends on the type of gas.

Respuesta :

Answer: a. The pressure will increase.

Explanation:

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

[tex]P\propto \frac{1}{V}[/tex]     (At constant temperature and number of moles)

[tex]{P_1V_1}={P_2V_2}[/tex]

where,

[tex]P_1[/tex] = initial pressure of gas

[tex]P_2[/tex] = final pressure of gas

[tex]V_1[/tex] = initial volume of gas

[tex]V_2[/tex] = final volume of gas

Thus as volume of the container will be reduced, the pressure would increase.
