The temperature of a gas remains constant while the volume of a given amount of gas is tripled. What will happen to the pressure reading compared to the initial pressure?

Boyle's law states that the pressure of a gas and the volume it occupies are inversely proportional. Therefore, if the pressure increases by a factor of 3 (tripled), then at constant temperature, we expect the volume to decrease by a factor of 13 ("cut in third").

Explanation:

i think it's letter a.

answer : third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol

explanation :

let us write down the given equations

equation 1 :

equation 2 :

equation 3 :

let us use hess's law to find out which 2 equations can be added to get the third equation.

let us reverse equation 2 and multiply it by 2. the new equation that we get is,

equation 4 :

let us add equation 1 & 4

the above equation is similar to equation 3 but has different value for dhrxn.

therefore third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol
