A gas at a volume of V0 in a container at pressure P0 is compressed to one-fifth of its volume. What will be its pressure if the magnitude of its original temperature T is constant?
-
A.
P0/5 -
B.
4P0/5 -
C.
P0 -
D.
5P0
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation
At constant T, P1 V1 = P2 V2.
Let P1 = P0 and V1 = V0, then solve accordingly.
