the gas in the piston is at constant temperature. a student increases the pressure on the piston from 2 atm to 3 atm. which gas law would a student use to investigate this situation? boyles law charless law gay - lussacs law ideal gas law
Answer
Brief Explanations:
Boyle's law states that at a constant temperature, the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional. Since the gas in the piston has a constant - temperature and the pressure is changing, Boyle's law is applicable. Charles's law is for constant - pressure situations, Gay - Lussac's law is for constant - volume situations, and the ideal gas law is a more general equation that combines pressure, volume, temperature, and amount of gas. Here, the focus is on pressure - volume relationship at constant temperature.
Answer:
A. Boyle's law
