the gas in the piston is at constant temperature. a student increases the pressure on the piston from 2 atm to 3 atm. p = 2 atm which gas law would a student use to investigate this situation? boyles law charless law gay - lussacs law ideal gas law
Answer
Brief Explanations:
Boyle's law states that at a constant temperature, the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional. In this situation, the temperature is constant and the pressure is changing, which is what Boyle's law addresses. Charles's law is for volume - temperature relationships at constant pressure, Gay - Lussac's law is for pressure - temperature relationships at constant volume, and the ideal gas law is a more general equation that combines pressure, volume, temperature, and amount of gas.
Answer:
A. Boyle's law
