Boyle's law for gases states that____________________?
Correct answer: B. P ∝ 1/V, when temperature & mass of the gas remain constant
- A. P ∝ 1/V, when temperature is constant
- B. P ∝ 1/V, when temperature & mass of the gas remain constant
- C. P ∝ V, at constant temperature & mass of the gas
- D. P/V = constant, for any gas
Explanation
For a fixed mass of gas at constant temperature, Boyle's law gives PV = constant, hence P is inversely proportional to V. Option b states both the constant temperature and constant amount of gas conditions.
