The volume of a gas decreases to half of its original volume, but the gas maintains the same number of moles and temperature. according to the ideal gas law, what will most likely happen to the pressure?

a.)it will double.

b.)it will decrease.

c.)it will increase slightly.

d.)it will remain the same.

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

Let the initial volume of the gas be

Initial pressure of the gas

When the volume of the gas decreases to half of the initial value.

Final volume of the gas =

Final pressure of the gas  =

According to Boyle's law:

Hence, the correct answer is option A.

conduction is the transfer of thermal energy (heat in transfer) due to collisions between the molecules in the object. collisions between adjacent atoms and molecules transfer kinetic energy from the warmer to the cooler object. the objects must be in physical contact.
