Question

Use the equation p= 8.31/v where p = pressure and V = volume.

What happens to the pressure as the volume approaches 0? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Answer: pressure increases

Explanation:

because Boyle's law states that pressure and volume have an inverse relationship, if we decrease volume the pressure will increase.

Another explanation: since volume approaches 0, we're dividing by a smaller number, and doing this gives us a larger value for pressure

Answer 2

The pressure approaches infinity.

The function is undefined for V = 0.

There is an asymptote at V = 0.
