Answer: The volume of an ideal gas will triple in value if the pressure is reduced to one-third of its initial value
Explanation:
We can determine this from the gas laws. Using Boyle's law, which states that "the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature"
Mathematically, P ∝ (1/V)
Since P ∝ (1/V), we can then write that
P = k(1/V)
Where P is the pressure, V is the volume and k is the proportionality constant
PV = k
We can then write that
P1V1 = P2V2 = P3V3 = ...
Hence, P1V1 = P2V2
Where P1 is the initial pressure of the gas
P2 is the final pressure of the gas
V1 is the initial volume of the gas
and V2 is the final volume of the gas
From the question, we want to determine what will make the new volume be thrice the initial volume.
Hence,
P1 = P
V1 = V
P2= ??
V2 = 3V
Therefore,
P × V = P2 × (3V)
P2 = PV/3V
P2 = P/3 = 1/3(P)
This means the volume of an ideal gas will triple in value if the pressure is reduced to one-third of its initial value

Advantages of Hydroelectric Energy
1 Renewable
Hydroelectric energy is renewable. This means that we cannot use up. However, there’s only a limited number of suitable reservoirs where hydroelectric power plants can be built and even less places where such projects are profitable.
2 Green
Generating electricity with hydro energy is not polluting itself. The only pollution occurs during the construction of these massive power plants.
3 Reliable
Hydroelectricity is very reliable energy. There are very little fluctuations in terms of the electric power that is being by the plants, unless a different output is desired. Countries that have large resources of hydropower use hydroelectricity as a base load energy source. As long as there is water in the magazines electricity can be generated.
4 Flexible
As previously mentioned, adjusting water flow and output of electricity is easy. At times where power consumption is low, water flow is reduced and the magazine levels are being conserved for times when the power consumption is high.
5 Safe
Compared to among others fossil fuels and nuclear energy, hydroelectricity is much safer. There is no fuel involved (other than water that is).
Storage form of energy:
- Potential energy
- Nuclear energy
- electrical energy
- thermal energy
- magnetic energy
Potential energy:
All stationary objects are having potential energy stored in it. This energy can be transferred in form of kinetic energy when it comes in the motion from rest. Example, An object placed at height h having potential energy in it. When it comes in motion from the rest the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.
Nuclear energy:
Nuclear energy is energy that is stored in nucleus of any element. Example, fusion reaction on sun gives earth solar energy.
Electric energy:
Electrical energy is due to movement of the electrical charges. Example, In elctrical batteries electrical energy is stored.
Thermal energy:
Thermal energy is the internal energy of a substance that is transferred to other substance in the form of heat. Example, on heating water is a beaker stem energy is developed.
Magnetic energy:
Magnetic energy is the potential energy stored in the magnetic field. Example, using magnetic energy electric field is produced according to Faraday's law.
From the choices given, ultraviolet rays is a type electromagnetic radiation that causes certain substances to fluoresce. It cannot be detected by the naked eye but some insects are able to see them.
Like in a fluorescent light bulb, ultraviolet or UV lights stimulates the coating of the tube to emit light.
