To solve the problem of determining the percentage increase in pressure for a 5% decrease in volume of a gas at constant temperature, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between pressure and volume According to Boyle's Law, for a given amount of gas at constant temperature, the pressure (P) of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume (V). This can be expressed mathematically as: \[ P \propto \frac{1}{V} \] or \[ P_1 V_1 = P_2 V_2 \] ...
