Question

If the volume of gas is reduced to half the the pressure will be??

Answer 1

I think it will double:

Explanation:

I would try using Boyle's Law:

Where we have:

`PV="constant"`

or, between the initial and final states:

`P_iV_i=P_fV_f`

but:

`V_f=1/2V_i`

so, we get, substituting:

`P_icancel(V_i)=P_f1/2cancel(V_i)`

so: `P_f=2P_i`
