The pressure of a gas is doubled keeping its temperature constant. Find the ratio of the final volume of the gas to its initial volume.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

According to Boyle's law, at constant temperature `p_(1)V_(1)=p_(2)V_(2)`
Given `p_(2)=2 p_(1)`
` therefore p_(1)V_(1)=2 p_(1)V_(2) implies (V_(2))/(V_(1))=(1)/(2) implies 1 : 2`
