Question

Will the pressure of a gas within a container change, if the volume of a gas-filled container doubles? This idea represents which of the gas laws?

a) It will decrease by half; Boyle’s law

b) It will decrease by half; Dalton’s law

c) It will decrease by more than half; Boyle’s law

d) It will decrease by more than half; Dalton’s law

e) It will double; Boyle’s law

f) It will double; Dalton’s law

g) It will more than double; Boyle’s law

h) It will more than double; Dalton’s law

i) It will not change; Boyle’s law

j) It will not change; Dalton’s law

Answer 1

a) it will decrease by half ; Boyle's law.

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. what it means is that if volume increases than pressure decreases, or if the volume decreases than the pressure increases, therefore if volume is doubled than the pressure becomes half, or if the volume is halved than the pressure doubles.

Daltons law relates to partial pressure of gases, which states that the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual component gas.
