Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
According to Boyle’s law, the pressure exerted by a gas decreases as the volume of space it occupies ____, provided its temperature remains constant.
A
decreases
B
increases
C
Either A or B
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: -Boyle’s law states that, provided the temperature does not change, the pressure of a fixed amount of gas is inversely proportional to its volume. This means if the volume increases the pressure decrease and vice versa.

Detailed explanation-3: -Decreasing the volume of a contained gas will increase its pressure, and increasing its volume will decrease its pressure.

Detailed explanation-4: -Boyle’s Law is a basic law in chemistry describing the behavior of a gas held at a constant temperature. The law, discovered by Robert A. Boyle in 1662, states that at a fixed temperature, the volume of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure exerted by the gas.
