Question 1 Report

When the pressure of a fixed mass of gas is doubled at constant temperature, the volume of the gas is
Answer Details
According to Boyle's law, when the temperature of a fixed mass of gas is constant, the pressure and volume of the gas are inversely proportional. Therefore, if the pressure of a fixed mass of gas is doubled at constant temperature, the volume of the gas must be halved to maintain a constant temperature. This is because the gas molecules are forced to occupy a smaller volume due to the increased pressure. Therefore, the correct option is: - halved
