By what percentage should the pressure of a given mass of a gas be increased so as to decrease its volume by 10% at a constant temperature?

A

`8.1%`

B

`9.1%`

C

`10.1%`

D

`11.1%`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`PV//T = P. (90//100) V//T, P.//P = 1 + (10//90) (P.-P) //P = 11.1%
