Question

For a given amount of gas at a constant temperature, the volume of a gas varies inversely with its pressure is a statement of ________ law.
a. Charles's
b. Avogadro's
c. Curie's
d. Boyle's

Answer 1

Answer:

d. Boyle's

Explanation:

Boyle's Law: States that the volume of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional proportional to its pressure, provided temperature remains constant.

Stating this mathematically. this implies that:

V∝1/P

V = k/P, Where k is the constant of proportionality

PV = k

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Where P₁ and P₂ are the initial and final pressure respectively, V₁ and V₂ are the the initial and final volume respectively.

Hence the right option is d. Boyle's
