Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
According to Boyle’s law, the pressure exerted by a gas ____ as the volume of space it occupies ____, provided its temperature remains constant.
A
decreases, decreases
B
decreases, increases
C
increases, increases
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Boyle’s law is a gas law that states that a gas’s pressure and volume are inversely proportional. When the temperature is kept constant, as volume increases, pressure falls and vice versa.

Detailed explanation-2: -This empirical relation, formulated by the physicist Robert Boyle in 1662, states that the pressure (p) of a given quantity of gas varies inversely with its volume (v) at constant temperature; i.e., in equation form, pv = k, a constant.

Detailed explanation-3: -Boyle’s Law-states that the volume of a given amount of gas held at constant temperature varies inversely with the applied pressure when the temperature and mass are constant.

Detailed explanation-4: -Expert Answer Boyle’s law suggests that when the volume of a gas decreases, the pressure increases accordingly. This is because when the volume of the gas has decreased the space between the gas molecules and the gas molecules and the container increases.
