Question
According to Boyle's law, what would happen to the pressure of a gas if the temperature were tripled as the number of moles and the volume were held constant?A.The pressure would be one-ninth of its original value.B.The pressure would remain the same.C.The pressure would triple.D.The pressure would be one-third of its original value.
Solution
Boyle's law states that the pressure and volume of a gas have an inverse relationship when temperature is held constant. However, in this question, the temperature is being changed while the volume is held constant. This scenario actually refers to Gay-Lussac's law, which states that the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature when the volume is kept constant.
So, if the temperature were tripled, the pressure would also triple. Therefore, the correct answer is C. The pressure would triple.
