Answer:

The volume will decrease by a factor of 10/51.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since both moles and temperature remain constant, we can use the Boyle's law that relates the volume and pressure as an inversely proportional relationship:

P_1V_1=P_2V_2

Thus, since the pressure increases by a factor of 5.1 (statement), we have:

P_2=5.1P_1

Thus, the final volume is:

V_2=\frac{P_1V_1}{P_2} =\frac{P_1V_1}{5.1P_1}\\\\V_2=\frac{10}{51}V_1

It means that the volume will decrease by a factor of 10/51.

Regards.

Explain the increase in pressure of a gas when its volume is decreased at constant<br> temperature.
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

For a gas held at constant temperature, we can apply Boyle's law, which states that the product between the gas pressure and its volume is constant:

PV=const.

where

P is the pressure

V is the volume

As we see from the equation, P and V are inversely proportional to each other: this means that when the volume is decreased, the pressure increases, and vice-versa. The reason for that is that when the volume is decreased, the gas is compressed, so the molecules of the gas come closer to each other, so they collide more frequently with the wall of the container, exerting therefore a greater pressure.
