How much should the pressure be increased in order to decrease the volume of a gas 5% at a constant temprature ?

A

0.05

B

0.0526

C

0.1

D

0.0426

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
PV=constant at constant temperature
New volume = 0.95 V
` :.P_(1)V=P_(2)`=0.95 V
or `P_(2)=(P_(1))/(0.95) = 10526 P_(1)`
Increases in pressure = 1.0526 `P_(1)-P_(1)`
=0.0526 `P_(1) = 5.26% of P_(1)`
