If the amount of gas is decreased and the temperature and pressure stay constant, what will be the effect on its volume?
a. The volume will increase
b. The volume will decrease
c. The volume will remain the same
d. The volume will reduce to zero

Answer 1

The answer is (B). The volume will decrease.

Ideal gas equation; PV = nRT

hence, V = nRT/P...

with R,T and P being constant and n reducing it becomes obvious that th volume will also reduce.
