Practice question
Question
What happens to the volume of an ideal gas if its pressure is doubled while the temperature remains constant?
Explanation
According to Boyle’s Law (Section 10.4), for an ideal gas at constant temperature, P V = constant . If pressure doubles ( P_2 = 2P_1 ), then V_2 = V_1 / 2, so the volume halves.
