At constant temperature, the pressure of gas is decreased by 20 % . The percentage change in volume
Options
- Aincrease by 29 %
- Bdecreases by 25 %
- Cincreases by 25 %
- Ddecreases by 20 %
Correct answer
B. decreases by 25 %
Step-by-step solution
Ideal gas equation states that: P V=n R T As temperature remains constant, so P V= constant As pressure decreases by 20 % , so P₂=0.8 P aligned & P V=(0.8 P) V₂ & V₂= P V 0.8 P = V 0.8 =1.25 ~V aligned So, volume of gas increase by 25 %
