Question

1. reducing the volume of a gas — its pressure if the temperature of the gas and the number of particles are constant

o does not affect
o increases
o decreases

Explanation:

According to Boyle's Law, \(PV = k\) (where \(P\) is pressure, \(V\) is volume, and \(k\) is a constant when temperature \(T\) and amount of gas \(n\) are constant). If \(V\) decreases (since \(P=\frac{k}{V}\)), then \(P\) increases.

Answer:

increases
