Which law is described by saying that when the pressure of a gas in a sealed container is cut in half, the gas will double in volume at a steady temperature?
Boyle’s law
Charles’s law
Dalton’s law
Gay-Lussac’s law

Respuesta :

I believe it would be Boyle's Law

(P [is proportional to] 1/V)

P being pressure

V being volume

Answer: The correct answer is Boyle's law.

Explanation:

Boyle's law states that 'the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by the gas at constant temperature'.

[tex]P\propto \frac{1}{V}[/tex]

[tex]PV=constant[/tex] or [tex]P_1V_1=P_2V_2[/tex]

According to question, pressure is reduced to half of its original value by which volume of gas will get doubled of its initial value.Hence following Boyle's law.
