Question

The ideal gas law equation is PV = nRT. If n, R, and T are kept constant, what happens to the volume if pressure is increased?

A)
The volume increases

B)
The volume decreases

C)
The volume remains unchanged

D)
The temperature rises

Answer 1

Because the temperature would be kept constant. The relationship between Pressure and Volume (Boyle's Law) would mean that if the pressure increased, the volume would also increase.

A is your answer.
