Respuesta :
Boyle's law states that in an ideal gas system, pressure and volume have an inverse relationship when the temperature remains constant. So B.
Answer: B) The volume will decrease.
Explanation: Boyle's Law: This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.
[tex]P\propto \frac{1}{V}[/tex] (At constant temperature and number of moles)
[tex]{P_1V_1}={P_2V_2}[/tex]
where,
[tex]P_1[/tex] = initial pressure of gas = x
[tex]P_2[/tex] = final pressure of gas = say if doubles = 2x
[tex]V_1[/tex] = initial volume of gas = v
[tex]V_2[/tex] = final volume of gas = [tex]V_2[/tex]
[tex]{x\times v}={2x\times V_2}[/tex]
[tex]V_2=\frac{v}{2}[/tex]
Thus volume will decrease.
