A sample of gas reduces its pressure and absolute temperature by 55 percent. What is the percentage change in volume?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the ideal gas law, PV = nRT, where P is pressure, V is volume, T is temperature, n is the amount of substance, and R is the ideal gas constant. If both pressure and temperature are reduced by 55%, the ratio P/T remains constant, meaning the volume (V) does not change, hence a 0% change in volume.
