Pressure and volume are inversely related. when the pressure on a gas is doubled, what happens to the volume

The volume of the gas will be halved when the pressure on a gas is doubled.

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.

    (At constant temperature and number of moles)

where,

= initial pressure of gas = p atm

= final pressure of gas = 2p atm

= initial volume of gas = v L

= final volume of gas = ?

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get the final volume of gas.

Therefore, the volume of the gas will be halved when the pressure on a gas is doubled.
