A gas at atm occupies L. At constant temperature, what is its pressure (in atm) when the volume is compressed to L?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. 16
- Step 1: For an ideal gas at constant temperature (isothermal process), Boyle's law states that pressure and volume are inversely proportional: .
- Step 2: Rearrange the relation to solve for the final pressure: .
- Step 3: Substitute , , and : .
Answer
16.
Why not the others: 10 adds pressure and volume values (); 1 divides ; 32 multiplies pressure by volume without dividing by the final volume ().
