Question

If the volume of 1.00 mole of gas is tripled, what will happen to the pressure, if the temperature remains constant

Answer 1

Answer:

The new pressure becomes one third of the initial pressure.

Explanation:

The relation between pressure and volume at constant temperature is given by :

$P\propto \dfrac{1}{V}\\\\P=\dfrac{1}{V}$

Let new pressure and volume be P' and V' respectively.

V'=3V (given)

So,

$P'=\dfrac{1}{V'}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{3V}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{3}\times \dfrac{1}{V}\\\\P'=\dfrac{1}{3}\times P$

Hence, new pressure becomes one third of the initial pressure.
