With molar quantity and temperature held constant,by what factor does the pressure of an ideal gas change when the volume is five times bigger?
A)1/5
B)1
C)5
D)25

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Boyle's Law, at constant temperature and molar quantity, the pressure of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to the volume. This means that as the volume increases, the pressure will decrease by the same factor. So, if the volume is increased by a factor of 5, the pressure will decrease by a factor of 1/5. Hence, the answer is A) 1/5.
