What happens to the pressure of a gas in a closed container if you double its volume while its temperature is held constant?

This question lacks options, the options are:

A) It would increase by a factor of four.

B) It would decrease by a factor of four.

C) It would be halved.

D) It would be doubled.

E) It would not change.

The answer is C

Explanation:

The relationship between the pressure and volume has been explained by BOYLE in his law. Boyle's law states that, at a constant temperature, the volume is inversely proportional to the pressure of a gas. This means that as the VOLUME INCREASES, the PRESSURE DECREASES and vice versa.

P ∝ 1/V or V ∝ 1/P

Hence, based on this explanation, when the volume of a gas in a closed container is doubleb, its pressure will be reduced by half i.e. 1/2. In other words, the pressure will be HALVED.

jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, having a mass and radius that are respectively, 318 and 11.2 times that of earth. suppose that an object falls from rest near the surface of each planet and that the acceleration due to gravity remains constant during the fall. each object falls the same distance before striking the ground. determine the ratio of the time of fall on jupiter to that on earth.
