If the temperature is kept constant, what change in volume would cause the pressure of an enclosed gas to be reduced to one-third of its original value? a) increasing the volume by a factor of nine b) decreasing the volume by a factor of three c) increasing the volume by a factor of three d) decreasing the volume by a factor of nine

c) increasing the volume by a factor of three.

Explanation:

Hello,

By recalling the Boyle's Law:

One states the pressure change:

Now, replacing the pressure at the second state one obtains for the volume at the second state:

Finally, one concludes that the volume must be increased by a factor of three.

Best regards.

the answer is na (sodium)

< > according to newton's third law of motion, forces always act in equal but opposite pairs. another way of saying this is for every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction.< >
